about
This is another song I wrote for the Good Friday service at Christ Community.
lyrics
O MAN OF SORROWS
O blessed Jesus, has it come to this;
Taken, beaten, bound for us, and betrayed with a kiss?
Jesus, You are innocent, sinless Son of Man,
Will You bear our punishment, O will they bind Your hands?
O Man of Sorrows, O broken heart,
Your mercy overflows all alone You bore the dark
My wrong drove away the light from this pitch-black day,
You alone can make me right and drive my sin away
O blessed Jesus, will You give Your life;
Will You spill Your blood for us, O will You sacrifice?
O Man of Sorrows, O Lamb of God,
O the pain that no one knows was the price for the lives You bought
Will You let them mock Your name; will You let them laugh?
Will You really wear their shame, O will You drink the wrath?
O blessed Jesus, silent as a stone
Will You take the blame for us, and will You die alone?
O Man of Sorrows, O perfect Son
O heart unshadowed, the only sinless One
O Man of Sorrows, O love unknown,
Your endless mercy flows, for You faced my cross alone
O precious Jesus, broken and alone
You laid down Your life for us to make us Your own
