Song Lyrics


MAN OF SORROWS

Man of sorrows Lamb of God

By His own betrayed

The sin of man and wrath of God

Has been on Jesus laid

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 honor unto Thee

Sent of heaven God's own Son

To purchase and redeem

And reconcile the very ones

Who nailed Him to that tree

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

HOW DEEP THE FATHER'S LOVE FOR US

How deep the Father's love for us?

How vast beyond all measure?

That He should give His only Son

To make a wretch His treasure

How great the pain of searing loss?

The Father turns His face away

As wounds which mar the Chosen One

Bring many sons to glory

Behold the man upon a cross

My sin upon His shoulders

Ashamed I hear my mocking voice

Call out among the scoffers

It was my sin that held Him there

Until it was accomplished

His dying breath has brought me life

I know that it is finished

I will not boast in anything

No gifts, no power, no wisdom

But I will boast in Jesus Christ

His death and resurrection

Why should I gain from His reward?

I cannot give an answer

But this I know with all my heart

His wounds have paid my ransom

AT THE CROSS

Oh Lord You've searched me

You know my way

Even when I fail You

I know You love me

Your holy presence

Surrounding me

In every season

I know You love me

I know You love me

Chorus:

At the cross You died for me

Where Your blood was shed for me

There's no greater love than this

You have overcome the grave

Your glory fills the highest place

What can separate me now

You go before me

You shield my way

Your hand upholds me

I know You love me

You tore the veil

You made a way

When You said that it is done. x2

And when the earth fades

Falls from my eyes

And You stand before me

I know You love me

I know You love me

YOUR WILL BE DONE

Verse 1

Your will be done, my God and father

As in Heaven, so on earth

My heart is drawn to self exalting

Help me seek Your kingdom first

Chorus

As Jesus walked, so I shall walk

Held by Your same unchanging love

Be still my soul

Oh, lift your voice and pray

Father not my will but Yours be done

Verse 2

How in that garden he persisted

I may never fully know

The fearful weight of true obedience

It was held by him alone

CHorus

What wondrous faith, to bear that cross

To bear my sin, what wondrous love

My hope was sure

When there my Saviour prayed

Father not my will but Yours be done

Verse 3

When I am lost, when I am broken

In the night of fear and doubt

Still I will trust in my good Father

Yes, to one great King I bow!

Chorus

As Jesus rose, so I shall rise

In ransomed glory at the throne

My heart restored

With all your saints I sing

Father, not my will but Yours be done
