Great Love for Man

"Behold the Man"

Behold the man;
Wounded and bruised, crowned with thorns,
He was despised, rejected.
He was despised and rejected.
Behold the man,
Man of sorrow, acquainted with grief;
We hid our faces from him,
We hid our faces from him.

We didn't know that it was for our sins he died,
That for us the Son of God was crucified,
That in love He bore our sorrow and pain,
And in love he willingly suffered.

Behold the man,
Suffering in silence, bearing our shame;
We hid our faces from him,
We hid our faces from him.

We didn't know that this was God the Father's plan,
Born of love, to bring redemption down to man,
That in love He gave His only Son
So that we might be forgiven.

Behold the man,
Risen in glory, coming to reign!
By the Father exalted, crowned with glory and honor.
Behold the man,
King of Kings and Lord of Lords!
Through all creation,
Jesus Christ is Lord!
