He looked upon the world and saw
The suffering of mankind
The sin, the sickness and the pain
The deaf, the dumb, the blind
He saw the lame and the diseased
He saw the battered wives
He saw the drunkards and the thieves
He saw the wasted lives
The addicts and the prostitutes
The child abuse, the strife
And in compassion born of love
Became the sacrifice
A cruel crown of thorns He bore
His face was spat upon
His back whipped open to the bone
This man who did no wrong
Nailed to a cross for all to see
In nakedness and shame
Became our sin to set us free
That we could live again
The earth shook and the day grew dark
The rocks split open wide
For nature agonized when Jesus
Hung His head and died
