Offered the bread, offered the cup
Opportunity to know what's up
Will you come to the garden to pray?
But they couldn't stay awake, not on this day
Hundreds came to harm the Lamb
Asked "Are You He?" Jesus answered "I Am!"
Something about You caused all to bend a knee
Even the one who betrayed You could see
The arms which embraced in scorn
Lay submitted on the ground, all pride from him torn
Your loved ones awoke but didn't understand
In anger, Peter slashed out with the sword in his hand
In love,You created healing to replace
Although there was sorrow seen on Your face,
Your mission was clear from the Father of Love
He directed You to rise above
You chose to suffer for us to have life
You whose hands hung the stars at night
You Who created every living thing
Jesus, who one day, all will bow to and sing
You were scorned, beaten, mocked, and bruised
Tormented for being King of the Jews
Yet even as the blood ran from Your head
You thought first of our sufferings instead
You pleaded with Your Daddy for our sake
As You hung there for every abomination we could make
This was Your reason for coming to Earth
This is the miracle and our greatest worth
Thank You for the gift of undeserved forgiveness
Thank You for calling me to be Your witness
May I spread Your truth with awe and grace
And inspire others to seek Your face
Use me, my Savior, mold me with Your hand
As, in spite of our weakness, You call Your children into Your land
