Blown Away

Oh troubled Messiah

You prayed through the night

Unbearable sorrow

The world on Your mind

Betrayed by the kiss of a friend

You were taken

By Your own free will

Rejected and disowned

By those You came to heal

Stripped of Your clothes

You were mocked

You were beaten

Made a King of fools

A crown of sorrow

Driven deep into Your brow

Yet You made no sound

What You went through to love me

I’ll never understand

What blows my mind away is

You love me as I am

They called for Barabbas

A King for a thief

Parading Your kindness

Like rags through the streets

Draped with the weight of the world

On Your shoulders

As You climbed that hill

A burden far too great

For flesh and bone to bear

You stretched out Your arms

As You welcomed those Roman nails

Your body frail

The very hands that shaped the world

Hung up to bleed

Lifted on high crucified

Him who knew no sin

The Nazarene

The Son of Man

The Lamb of God

Emmanuel

Given to die

What You went through to love me

I’ll never understand

What blows my mind away is

You love me as I am

Precious Redeemer

Lamb that was slain

Hope for the hopeless

Lifter of shame

Friend to the sinner

Grace to my soul

Death is defeated

Now my sin is gone

And I’m blown away

Yeah I’m blown away

Crushed by the weight of the world

That You came to save

You took my place

Your blood as rivers flowing

Freely to the ground

Yielding Your spirit

You let out a holy cry

As You gave Your life

Oh Eloi Eloi lama sabachthani

Oh my Jesus Christ

What You went through to love me

I’ll never understand

What blows my mind away is

You’d do it all again
