See Him rejected.
Who could imagine
The glory of heaven
In One now abandoned?

Bloody, disfigured,
Now barely human,
Repulsive and scarred,
His only clothing is shame.

But our shame He suffers,
Our sin He carries.
See what a beating He bears in our name!

Hear all the guilty
Mocking and cursing.
Our Savior is still.
This is the reason He came!

For our shame He suffers,
Our sin He carries.
How deep the sorrow He bears in our name!

Watch as His Father,
Eager to crush Him,
Now offers His Son
To bring His children back home.
