(Choir)
|
Jerusalem on a dusty road
|
An innocent man condemned to death
|
Bore a cross on his shoulders
|
they didn’t know
|
Down the via dolorosa
|
He staggered in agony
|
As he looked upon the hatred
|
In the eyes of his own seed
|
They didn't know
|
|
(Lead)
|
They didn't know
|
He was enduring this for them
|
So they could live forever more
|
In paradise with him
|
They didn’t know one day they'd sing his praise
|
With fear and trembling
|
They didn't recognize the king that kings called king
|
|
(Choir)
|
He didn't have to die for me
|
He could have just set himself free
|
He could have come down from the cross at Calvary
|
|
(Lead)
|
But instead He was wounded for our transgressions
|
and He was bruised for our iniquity
|
|
(Choir)
|
And by his stripes we are healed
|
oh what an awesome price He paid for me
|
They hung him high
|
And stretched him wide
|
They nailed his hands and feet
|
And pierced him in the side
|
They didn't know
|
Look at my savior hanging there
|
Suffering, bleeding, dying for me and you
|
Oh Jesus never said a mumbling word but father they know not what they do
|
And He bowed his head, hung his head and He died (2x)
|
My Jesus bowed his head hung his head and He died(2x)
|
But on the third day
|
On the third day (2x)
|
Jesus rose
|
He rose (3x)
|
Jesus rose
|
Victoriously
|
Triumphantly
|
With authority
|
He rose
|
Rose (2x)
|
He rose
|
