[Intro] They Betrayed the Messiah They Betrayed the Messiah [Verse 1] Sent down from Heaven A Savior to men A mission of mercy to save us from sin His teachings They scorned them Ignored and despised The light of the world But He was denied [Chorus] They Betrayed the Messiah Nailed to a cross to die They Betrayed the Messiah Oh He gave His life for you and I He gave His life [Verse 2] When He cried out "Father Forgive them" They mocked Him and called Him a liar Then He bowed His head And the sky turned black And He gave up His ghost The final attack [Chorus] They Betrayed the Messiah Nailed to a cross to die They Betrayed the Messiah Oh He gave His life for you and I [Bridge] And on the third day He rose again The King of kings and Lord of lords The Son of Man
