Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Oh, Troubled Messiah

You prayed through the night

Unbearable sorrow

The world on Your mind

Betrayed by the kiss of a friend

You were taken

By Your own free will

Rejected and disowned

By those You came to heal

Stripped of Your clothes, You were mocked, You were beaten

Made a King of fools

A crown of sorrow driven deep into Your brow

Yet You made no sound

What You went through to love me

I'll never understand

What blows my mind away is

You love me as I am

They called for Barabbas

A King for a thief

Parading Your kindness

Like rags through the streets

Draped with the weight of the world on Your shoulders

As You climbed that hill

A burden far too great for flesh and bone to bear

You stretched out Your arms as You welcomed those Roman nails

Your body frail

The very hands that shaped the world hung up to bleed

Lifted on high, crucified Him who knew no sin

The Nazarene

The Son of Man, the Lamb of God, Emmanuel

Given to die

What You went through to love me

I'll never understand

What blows my mind away is

You love me as I am

Precious Redeemer

Lamb that was slain

Hope for the hopeless

Lifter of shame

Friend to the sinner

Grace to my soul

Death is defeated

Now my sin is gone

And I'm blown away

Yeah, I'm blown away

Crushed by the weight of the world that You came to save

You took my place

Your blood as rivers flowing freely to the ground

Yielding Your spirit, You let out a holy cry

As You gave Your life

"Oh, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?"

Oh, my Jesus Christ

What You went through to love me

I'll never understand

What blows my mind away is

You'd do it all again
