The
King laid aside His garments
To
be wrapped in swaddling clothes
A
babe of flesh in a manger
Yet
God who will face death’s throes
He
grew in wisdom and stature--
So
full of truth and grace
But
soon He would know the horror
Of
men who spit in His face
He
preached throughout the nation
Healing
the sick and lame
He
touched the lowly sinners
Showing
He would bear their shame
They
hailed Him as the King--
Then
crowned Him with Wreath of Thorn
They
mocked and cursed His Name
As with whips His flesh was torn
A
hammer beat the rhythm
Of
nails piercing hands and feet
Words
are not enough to tell
God’s
wrath on sin complete
But
He who suffered cruel death
Came
up from out the grave
Exalted—sitting
on the Throne
With
power the lost to save
O
sinner, do you know the Lord?
Have
you felt the Master’s touch?
Trust
Him for He loves you so—
For
you He has given much

How
much have we been forgiven? All.
How
much did Jesus give? All.
How
much faith should we give Jesus? All.
If
we have been forgiven all, how much should we love in return? With all.
