about

lyrics and music written by Elise Massa & Stacey Regan

Almighty and everlasting God, in your tender love for us you sent your Son our Savior Jesus Christ to take upon himself our nature, and to suffer death upon the Cross, giving us the example of his great humility: Mercifully grant that we may walk in the way of his suffering, and come to share in his resurrection; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen. (The Book of Common Prayer, 2019)

lyrics

They crushed the crown of thorns upon his head
and lifted high the cross for all to see.
A mangled Savior, naked, left for dead:
“Behold, the Lamb of God! Behold your King!”

What strength he had to never say a word,
to stoop and stagger up to Calvary.
What strength to yet forgive the mocking crowd:
“Behold, the Lamb of God! Behold your King!”

The nails that pierced his hands have pierced my heart.
The cruelest cost for sin was paid for me.
Lest you, my soul, forget the Father's love:
Behold, the Lamb of God! Behold your King!
