Man of Sorrows, Risen King
December 4, 2009
Man of sorrows, weeping for Jerusalem
Man of sorrows, aching for all mankind
Divine one, yet so humbly walking with us
Teaching and preaching, delivering, healing
Commanding the wind, driving dark demons out
Raising those once dead to walk the earth again
How could they not believe, seeing what he did
How could they abuse and kill this Man of God
But we share their guilt, for our sins nailed him up
Man of sorrows, you took all our punishment
Now by your awesome grace, we are forgiven
Blessed with joy today and everlasting life
A Man of sorrows, but only for a day
On that Easter morn, they found an empty tomb
You rose on clouds of light, angels your escort
Welcomed by the Father, saying, Well done, Son
No more a Man of sorrows, a risen King
No more a Man of sorrows, the Lord of Lords
Hallelujah glory, Hosanna glory
He’s the risen King, He is the Lord of Lords
Hallelujah glory, Hosanna glory
He’s the risen King, He is the Lord of Lords
No more a Man of sorrows, a risen King.
A risen King! A risen King! Hosanna!
