Behold The Sin Bearer

[foxjj]

Behold The Sin Bearer
　
“Away with him,” they cried
Of the one standing hands bound,
“I find no fault,” the governor replied
The cry of a mob is a troubling sound,

Striped of His clothing and dignity
To the place of execution He is taken,
A mob blind to truth, jeer
Women weep for the one forsaken,

Above the hill clouds gather
At the appointed time, He is lifted up,
Now He will draw men onto Himself
For He has drank deep from the cup,

Behold the sin bearer
“It is finished,” He is heard to say,
For sin, a great price has been paid
Soon it will be His resurrection day.

“Away with him,” they cried
Of the one standing hands bound,
“I find no fault,” the governor replied
The cry of a mob is a troubling sound,

Striped of His clothing and dignity
To the place of execution He is taken,
A mob blind to truth, jeer
Women weep for the one forsaken,

Above the hill clouds gather
At the appointed time, He is lifted up,
Now He will draw men onto Himself
For He has drank deep from the cup,

Behold the sin bearer
“It is finished,” He is heard to say,
For sin, a great price has been paid
Soon it will be His resurrection day.
