Alone the crown of thorns He wore,
Alone the crown of thorns He wore
Alone the crown of thorns He wore
start
Yet He that hath in anguish knelt
Yet He that hath in anguish knelt
A creature became.
What shall I do, then, with Je­sus?
Like one forgotten, mourn,
We recall Your crucifixion,
Darkness, wrath and curse were Thine;
I am chosen
Humbly at His feet I bow,
Told in answ’ring glory now.
Forbid this land should ev­er be
Jesus is standing in Pilate’s hall—
Entrapped by the ev­il one in­to his snares,
start
Since I called on the only One who’d save me.
To pierce His heart again?

Forsaken

Alone upon the cross He hung
Alone upon the cross He hung
Alone upon the cross He hung
I'm accepted, You were condemned
’Tis midnight, and from ether-plains
’Tis midnight, and the prayer is through;
Afflicted with sorrow,
When life is full of dis­eas­es,
To my oppressor’s scorn?
How alone You paid our ransom,
Thus we learn Thy love divine!
I am who You say I am
Take me, Jesus, take me now.
Where no pity’ng eye was found;
Let not Thy sore dis­plea­sure rest
Hearken! what meaneth the sudden call?
Nobody cares? That may have been true;
The ris­en Lord gave par­don free,
Who’d have thought that You’d be there!
By all, ex­cept His God,
