My story isn't one of faith, it's one of doubt and shame
And the cowardice, the fear of men will bring
Through all His tribulations, I never dared to take a stand
Though all the while I knew He was the King

Almost all the others on the council had agreed
But I thought that all their threats were talk
Till they began to speak of murder and in the end I had to leave
When they asked me which disciples could be bought

Early in the morning, I was wakened by the shouts
When a man ran down the courtyard down below in a panic
Shouting, Jesus had been taken, the Council's been convened
And they're going to try to kill Him now I know

No one who'd been seen with Him, even knew about that trial
When I arrived there was just an empty hall
When I finally found them, I could not believe my eyes--
He was being scourged before them all

The crowd cried out for murder, but He never made a sound
And at last they brought Him back inside the door
When Pilate brought Him out again, and said "Behold The Man"
I couldn't hold the tears back anymore

For he bore no resemblence to the one I used to know
From His face you couldn't tell He was a man--
From the beatings and the lashings, and the thorns upon His head
He stumbled and He almost couldn't stand

Pilate wanted to release Him, but the crowd just screamed and roared
Until at last, he let them have their way
And they took Him out to Golgotha, and I followed far behind
Afraid to look and afraid to turn away

Slowly I drew closer, till the light began to dim
And a sudden silence spread across the land
And at noon it grew like midnight, as if no one were allowed
To witness what was happening to the Man

My God, My God, what have I done to turn your back on me
His scream of anguish echoed down the hill
And it seemed I heard the misery, the sickness and the sin
Of every man who ever lived or ever will

In agony, He raised Himself and He pulled against the nails
Just enough to fill His lungs for one more cry
"It is finished! Father unto You I now commit my life!"
And He breathed His last, and He bowed His head, and He died

Before the sun had set, we took His body from the cross
And washed it of the gore of all His wounds
And we wrapped Him in the linen, and the spices that we'd brought
Then we rolled the stone across the tomb

At first it was the women, then Peter said so, too
Then two more came from Emmaus in the night
And then He Himself was standing there and His glory filled the room
And the darkness in my soul was filled with light

When He turned to me, it seemed the others disappeared
Then He touched me and I saw His hands and side
And the words He spoke to me alone drove all my fears away
And lit a fire that's burning deep inside

Then He told us all, as God sent Me, I am sending you
To destroy the works of Satan and to preach
Preach deliverance to the captive and the gospel to the poor
That heaven has come down within their reach

So now as He's commanded, I am here before you all
With a courage that I know is not my own
To tell you that He's risen, Jesus is the Lord
And salvation now is in His name alone

Jesus is risen, the battle is done
Yield to His Spirit, worship the Son
Take His forgiveness, let healing start
Jesus is Lord now, open your heart
