MAN OF SORROWS

  Lyrics

Verse 1
Man of sorrows, Lamb of God
By his own betrayed
The sin of man and wrath of God
Has been on Jesus laid

Verse 2
Silent, as he stood accused
Beaten, mocked and scorned
Bowing to the Father’s will
He took a crown of thorns

Chorus
Oh that rugged cross, my salvation
Where your love poured out over me
Now my soul cries out, “Hallelujah
Praise and honour unto thee.”

Verse 3
Sent of heaven, God’s own Son
To purchase and redeem
And reconcile the very ones
Who nailed him to that tree

Bridge
Now my debt is paid, it is paid in full
By the precious blood that my Jesus spilled
Now the curse of sin has no hold on me
Whom the Son sets free, oh is free indeed

Verse 4
See, the stone is rolled away
Behold, the empty tomb
Hallelujah, God be praised
He’s risen from the grave
