1 My Savior, I behold Thy life
of suffering and many tears;
I mark Thy souls dep anguished strife,
Thy human woes, Thy human fears;
And cry, "Was ever grief like Thine,
or debt of sin so vast as mine?"

2 I watch Thine agonizing hour,
I see Thee by Thine own betrayed;
alone in Pilate's weak-willed power,
and scourged and scornfully arrayed;
And cry, "Was ever grief like Thine,
or debt of sin so vast as mine?"

3 I see Thee fainting on Thy way,
reviled and mocked by all the throng;
I hear the bitter words they say,
the scoffer's sneer, the drunkard's song;
And cry, "Was ever grief like Thine,
or debt of sin so vast as mine?"

4 That sin in every taunt I hear,
and see in every look of scorn;
it is the cross which Thou dost bear,
the sharpness of Thy crown of thorn;
Dear Lord, "Was ever grief like Thine,
or debt of sin so vast as mine?"

5 My Savior, I behold Thy death,
I hear Thy cries, Thy last words seven;
I see the scowling gaze beneath,
above the darkened face of heaven;
And cry, "Was ever grief like Thine,
or debt of sin so vast as mine?"

6 My Savior, I behold Thy grave,
in that still garden's awful gloom;
I see Thee lying there to save
my soul from an eternal tomb;
And cry, "Was ever grief like Thine,
or debt of sin so vast as mine?"

Updated Format! Beginning in November of 2016, we changed the way we formatted our PowerPoint files. The font is larger and the staff lines are bolder, making the songs easier to read from a greater distance, including smaller screens/monitors in the rear of the sanctuary.

All songs digitized previous to that date are in the "older" format.
