Lord, You suffered and were ravaged
By the cruelty of men.
From Gethsemane to Calvary,
Men oppressed and judged You then;
Our transgressions caused You wounding,
Pain and suffering all consuming,
'Til a breach in Your communing
Caused You grief unknown from birth.
From the garden to Golgotha,
All You passed through proved Your worth.

You had one friend who betrayed You,
With a kiss, to hate-filled men,
And another who denied You
Out of fear towards all of them.
When they took You as their prisoner,
Questioned You, their anger bitter,
And then mocked You, thought a sinner,
You did not Yourself defend.
You were mute and long-enduring
With a view to reach Your end.
With a kiss, to hate-filled men,
And another who denied You
Out of fear towards all of them.

The Sanhedrin sought to weaken
Your endurance and Your strength,
Then delivered You to Pilate
Whose men scourged You, whipped at length.
At Golgotha, soldiers stripped You,
And with violent pounding nailed You
To Your cross, through joint and sinew,
There to hang upon the tree,
Where bystanders mocked, despising,
Wagging heads contempt'ously.

Those who hated You were staring,
No respect, their visage hard.
Soldiers gambled for Your garments
While Your strength dried like a shard.
Like hot wax, Your heart was melting.
Gravity each joint was rending.
In Your mouth, Your tongue was cleaving.
As Your weight each breath then stole,
Your ordeal made all the harder
When God made You sin for all.
No respect, their visage hard.

At the noon hour, when God judged You,
Laid on You the whole of sin,
God's dear presence fled, departed,
From Your fellowship within.
This was much worse than the violence;
This forsaking—dreaded silence,
All the scorn of men's derision
Paling in comparison
To the scope of God's own judgement
Poured upon His only Son.

After three hours, at Your limit,
You cried out in agony,
In the words of David, Psalmist,
"Why have You forsaken Me?"
Saying, "I thirst... It is finished"
You were done, Your work unblemished.
You prayed "Father, into Your hands
I commit My spirit." Then
With a loud cry, You expired,
As Your loved ones grieved again.

When Your death the soldiers noticed,
One took up His weighted spear
And he pierced Your side in coldness,
Blood and water flowing clear.
From Gethsemane to Calvary
You were broken, suffering greatly.
Wounds innumerable, a fountain,
Flowing precious priceless blood,
For our sins and our redemption,
Reconciling us to God.
