Verse 1

They bound the hands of Jesus
In the garden where He prayed
They led Him thro' the streets in shame
They spat upon the Savior
So pure and free from sin
They said crucify Him
He's to blame

Chorus

He could have called ten thousand angels
To destroy the world and set Him free
He could have called ten thousand angels
But He died alone for you and me

Verse 2

Upon His precious head
They placed a crown of thorns
They laughed and said behold the King
They struck Him and they cursed Him
And mocked His holy name
All alone He suffered ev'rything

Verse 3

When they nailed Him to the cross
His mother stood nearby
He said woman behold thy Son
He cried I thirst for water
But they gave Him none to drink
Then the sinful work of man was done

Verse 4

To the howling mob He yielded
He did not for mercy cry
The cross of shame He took alone
And when He cried it's finished
He gave Himself to die
Salvation's wondrous plan was done
