"CRUCIFIED"

Jesus loves us, we all know.

The Bible's story tells us so.

Rejected, ridicled, scorned

Beaten beyond recognition - blow by blow.

Jesus loves us, we all hear.

Pinned to a blood-stained cross.

Abandoned, weakened, exposed

Despised by the masses with curses and jeers.

Jesus loves us, we sing with all our breath.

Heaven's gates to open wide

Thirsting under the darkened sky.

Waiting, waiting, to conquer death.

Jesus loves us, do you believe?

Man of Sorrows what a name.

Humble, Servant, Obedient.

"It is finished!", now we grieve.

Jesus loves me, I finally see.

The suffering Savior in my place.

All my contempt, pride, and sin borne on Him

He died for you and me.
