I want to tell you more a¤bout the Sav¤iour,
How He was wound¤ed on the cru¤el tree;
In ten¤der¤ness and love for you He suf¤fered,
Poured out His life in grief and ag¤o¤ny,
Up¤on the cross He bowed His sa¤cred head,
It was for you His pre¤cious blood was shed,
It was for you His pre¤cious blood was shed.

He was op¤pressed for you, He was af¤flict¤ed,
Smit¤ten of God in dark Geth¤sem¤a¤ne,
O won¤drous love God’s fear¤ful wrath par¤tak¤ing,
He drank the cup and now your soul is free,
It pleased the Fa¤ther thus to bruise His Son,
He was made sin for you, God’s sin¤less One,
He was made sin for you, God’s sin¤less One.

Those bleed¤ing wounds re¤veal His deep com¤pas¤sion,
His sure, un¤fail¤ing nev¤er chang¤ing love,
How great the price He paid for your re¤demp¤tion,
Leav¤ing the glo¤ries of His home a¤bove,
Bear¤ing your sins He died on Cal¤va¤ry,
His ten¤der lov¤ing heart was pierced for thee,
His ten¤der lov¤ing heart was pierced for thee.

Will you not come and fall¤ing down be¤fore Him,
Press¤ing your lips to His dear wound¤ed feet,
In love and grat¤i¤tude your Lord a¤dor¤ing,
Pre¤sent your life, your all to Him com¤plete,
He sac¤ri¤ficed His life so will¤ing¤ly,
That you might be His own e¤ter¤nal¤ly,
That you might be His own e¤ter¤nal¤ly.
