THE STORY OF JESUS YOU MAY KNOW. YOU'VE HEARD IT, OH SO MANY TIMES. ON EASTER, OFF TO CHURCH YOU GO, BUT IT'S MORE THAN JUST A STORY LINE. THOSE STRIPES, HE BORE UPON HIS BACK, WERE TAKEN TO PAY FOR OUR SINS. THOSE SCARS, WHERE THE NAILS WENT
Lyrics
S:1
THE STORY OF JESUS YOU MAY KNOW. YOU'VE HEARD IT, OH SO MANY TIMES. ON EASTER, OFF TO CHURCH YOU GO, BUT IT'S MORE THAN JUST A STORY LINE. THOSE STRIPES, HE BORE UPON HIS BACK, WERE TAKEN TO PAY FOR OUR SINS. THOSE SCARS, WHERE HE NAILS WENT IN HIS HANDS, ARE THERE TO REMIND US OF WHAT HE DID.
CHORUS:
HE CAME THAT WE MIGHT HAVE LIFE, AND HAVE IT MORE ABUNDANTLY, HE CAME TO BRING SALVATION BY HIS NAME. AND THAT IS WHY JESUS CAME.
VS:2
A CROWN OF THORNS WAS PLACED ON HIS HEAD, WHILE SOLDIERS GAMBLED FOR HIS CLOTHES, HIS BEARD WAS PLUCKED FROM HIS FACE, A BEATING LIKE NO ONE'S EVER KNOWN.
THE SAME CROWD THAT HAILED HIM AS THEIR KING, NOW STOOD THERE AND YELLED CRUCIFY HIM, WHILE ALL HIS DISCIPLES RAN AWAY, AND EVEN PETER DENIED HIM.
BRIDGE:
ON THAT CROSS HE TOOK ALL OUR SINS, AND CARRIED ALL OF OUR GRIEFS, THOUGH HE HAD NO QUILT OF HIS OWN, HE HUNG THERE LIKE A COMMON THIEF.
VS:3
HE WAS PLACED IN A BORROWED TOMB, A STONE SEALED UP THE DOOR. BUT THE THIRD DAY MY JESUS AROSE, AND NOW HE LIVES FOREVER MORE.
REPEAT CHORUS:
