Once He was mocked as a despised Galilean "King".
To religious leaders He was no more than a play thing,
Belittled while He suffered rejection and execution to save us,
Suffering for our sins He died in our place.
Through His life and death, He brings us God's grace.
His enemies labeled Him a terrible sinner,
Who was for His own suffering and death to blame.
Today we hail Him as One who bore our sin and shame.
By His sacrificial merits we find mercy and favor,
Praising God for grace and resurrection power in Jesus' name.
He is the Paschal Lamb, appointed by God the Father,
To freely accept all our sins on Himself to be laid.
By His sacrificial gift we see God's love incarnate,
Suffering the total cost for full atonement made.
He made possible for every sin to be forgiven.
Through the virtue of the shedding of His innocent blood,
He destroyed the gates of hell,
And fed us everlasting bread unleavened,
So we could recover from the pit in which we fell,
Reconciling us with God, fully opening up the gates of Heaven.
