As gentle as a Lamb To the slaughter He was led He did not say a word As the blood flowed from His head The cruelty they showed Him He took with tender grace The agony He suffered He endured to take my place I deserved the cross yet He took it all for me I deserved the stripes that He took to set me free I deserved the nails that pierced His feet and hands I deserved the cross that Jesus bore for me With the power of a lion He rose up from the dead Victory was in His hand A crown upon His head Not the crown of thorns they gave Him But a royal crown of gold Now He rules all of heaven All of earth and all below I deserved the cross yet He took it all for me I deserved the stripes that He took to set me free I deserved the nails that pierced His feet and hands I deserved the cross that Jesus bore for me He died to take my sin He rose to give me life Hallelujah, He has risen Hallelujah He’s alive He died to take my sin He rose to give me life Hallelujah, He has risen Hallelujah He’s alive He died to take my sin He rose to give me life Hallelujah, He has risen Hallelujah He’s alive I deserved the cross yet He took it all for me I deserved the stripes that He took to set me free I deserved the nails that pierced His feet and hands I deserved the cross that Jesus bore for me I deserved the cross that Jesus bore for me I deserved the cross that Jesus bore for me
