“Wounded for my transgressions”!
Slowly the words I read:
Swiftly the tears will gather;
Truly the heart should bleed.
Wonderful condescension!
Matchless, infinite grace!
Jesus — Sinless, Holy,
Taking the sinner’s place.
Wonderful, wonderful story!
Wonderful depth of love!
Laying aside His glory,
Leaving the courts above.
Jesus, the Man of sorrows,
Homeless and friendless, He;
Wounded, so cruelly wounded,
Bruised and broken for me.
Fiercely the storm sweeps round Him!
Darkly the shadows fall;
Wrath and anger and judgment—
Jesus bearing it all.
Draining the cup of anguish,
Dying on Calvary’s tree:
Wonderful plan of redemption:
Jesus — dying for me!
