you were torchured, you were beat
nails were pierced in your hands and feet
am I to blame, should I feel guilty
cause I know that you died to save me
you were stretched out on a cross
to save a world that was almost lost
chorus
now the only thing that dies is death itself
cause that day you bleed us a new life
and everything you went through and felt
it was worth all of the pain and strife
and now I am on my knees to say thank you
for taking us from the darkness and into your light
you corrected the world and made everything brand new
and that day was the day you bleed the world to life
you were insulted, you were forsaken
deep inside your heart was breaking
was I a tear that fell from your eyes
was I a reason for your hurting cries
you were mocked for who you were
there was so much pain you had to endure
chorus
Another nice remembrance of Jesus...this would have been good for Passion of the Christ...although I still haven't seen it...heard it was very true to the torture he endured for all of us to be saved and this describes it well...Pam
This song is really wonderful. When I read it I could feel the emotion behind the words...I was so moved I had tears in my eyes. We're definitely singing this one! :)
