Blown Away

Oh, Troubled Messiah
 You prayed through the night
 Unbearable sorrow
 The world on Your mind
 Betrayed by the kiss of a friend
 You were taken
 By Your own free will
 Rejected and disowned
 By those You came to heal
 ♪
 Stripped of Your clothes, You were mocked, You were beaten
 Made a King of fools
 A crown of sorrow driven deep into Your brow
 Yet You made no sound
 ♪
 What You went through to love me
 I'll never understand
 What blows my mind away is
 You love me as I am
 ♪
 They called for Barabbas
 A King for a thief
 Parading Your kindness
 Like rags through the streets
 Draped with the weight of the world on Your shoulders
 As You climbed that hill
 A burden far too great for flesh and bone to bear
 ♪
 You stretched out Your arms as You welcomed those Roman nails
 Your body frail
 The very hands that shaped the world hung up to bleed
 
 Lifted on high, crucified Him who knew no sin
 The Nazarene
 The Son of Man, the Lamb of God, Emmanuel
 Given to die
 ♪
 What You went through to love me
 I'll never understand
 What blows my mind away is
 You love me as I am
 ♪
 Precious Redeemer
 Lamb that was slain
 Hope for the hopeless
 Lifter of shame
 Friend to the sinner
 Grace to my soul
 Death is defeated
 Now my sin is gone
 And I'm blown away
 Yeah, I'm blown away
 
 Crushed by the weight of the world that You came to save
 You took my place
 Your blood as rivers flowing freely to the ground
 Yielding Your spirit, You let out a holy cry
 As You gave Your life
 "Oh, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?"
 Oh, my Jesus Christ
 ♪
 What You went through to love me
 I'll never understand
 What blows my mind away is
 You'd do it all again
