They placed a crown of thorns on His head
|
A scepter in His hand
|
"Hail, to the King of the Jews," they said
|
They did not understand.
|
|
Like a lamb to the slaughter
|
they led Him away as the prophets foretold.
|
He carried our sins and our sorrows,
|
to Golgotha, to the place they call the Skull.
|
|
Now Satan came to Jerusalem
|
"The death of God," his command
|
"Give us Barabbas," the people said
|
They did not understand.
|
|
Like a lamb to the slaughter
|
they led Him away as the prophets foretold.
|
He carried our sins and our sorrows,
|
to Golgotha, to the place they call the Skull.
|
|
"For dogs have compassed me
|
The assembly of the wicked have inclosed me
|
The pierced my hands and my feet
|
I may tell all my bones
|
They look and stare upon me
|
They part my garments among them
|
and cast lots upon my vesture" (Psalm 22:16-18).
|
|
Worthy is He who was slain on the cross
|
The Messiah, the King of the universe!
|
Honor and pow'r, glory and might
|
To the God of the skies, to the Lord of earth!
|
Every knee shall bow, and every tongue
|
shall confess the Lord . . .
|
|
"He is despised and rejected of men
|
A Man of Sorrows and acquainted with grief,
|
and we hid as it were our faces from him
|
He was despised, and we esteemed Him not (Isaiah 53:3).
