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
