Written Letters, Pt4 Lyrics

Jesus, the Son of Man

Crucified for me

A story that can never get old

In a human body, just like my own

He takes lashes that connect from flesh to the bone

With His blood dripping from His crown made of thorns

The Lord of all lords

Whipped and beaten

Took sin, gave freedom

Because of His sacrifice

I can stand and breathe in

Eternal life

See I could never have put up the same fight

That's simply a burden I couldn't carry

But He didn't parry this responsibility

He took it on

How Jesus, are You this compassionate for us?

When we've treated You so callously

The scripture says

"There is no greater love than to lay down one's life for one's friends"

Funny thing is I wasn't even His friend, I was an enemy

Yet He went through that mockery just for me

Just for us

See I've learnt something from You Lord

Greatness can come from pain

And just like how you make beauty for ashes, and replace mourning with praise

I'll fixate on You when many trials come my way

When the pressures of life try to take my breath away

And temptations knock on my door

I'll wait patiently just a bit more

For when I'm weak

Let Your strength be made perfect in me

And as I die daily remind me that one Day I'll be lifted up in Your glory

Thank You Lord for giving us the victory

Done
