1. All The Sins of the World Listen...
Quick MIDI
All the sins of the world weighed him down.
They were sharp as a thorn-twisted crown,
Piercing him
Deep within.
All the sins of the world weighed him down.
All the hope of a world that had failed,
Hung on hands that were willingly nailed.
From his pain,
We would gain,
All the hope of a world that had failed.
Jesus, our Lord and God,
Suffered alone.
Took all our punishment,
Made it his own.
All the tears that have ever been cried,
Flowed with water from wounds in his side.
As they ran,
Life began
For the world, when the son of God died.
2. He's Been There Listen...
Quick MIDI
(for congregation, sing one verse each service)
He's been there, just for you.
He was the stranger set apart.
He knows that loneliness is very real;
He felt it in his heart.
All his friends, Father, too,
Left him alone to face the end.
Our Savior knows how loneliness can feel,
And he's a faithful friend.
Our Savior knows how loneliness can feel,
And he's a faithful friend.
He's been there, just for you.
He prayed the cup would pass them by.
Yet he submitted to the Father's will,
And never questioned why.
We must learn what he knew,
When we think prayers are answered wrong:
God never wants to do his children harm;
He wants to make them strong.
God never wants to do his children harm;
He wants to make them strong.
He's been there, just for you.
He was the truth among deceit.
He knows hypocrisy is all around;
The tares grow with the wheat.
Even those faithful few
Do not resist temptation's call.
Only in Jesus' saving truth is found
Forgiveness for us all.
Only in Jesus' saving truth is found
Forgiveness for us all.
He's been there, just for you.
He was the One men loved to hate.
He suffered more than we could ever know
Or ever tolerate.
Every hurt people do
Comes from the natural heart's despair.
Our Savior took it all so he could show
His love is really there.
Our Savior took it all so he could show
His love is really there.
He's been there, just for you.
He was the One who bore the blame.
The guilt of all mankind was poured on him
Till he was drenched with shame.
Guilty hearts need review
But when repentance is expressed,
Be glad that Jesus has absorbed your sin
And put your mind at rest.
Be glad that Jesus has absorbed your sin
And put your mind at rest.
He's been there, just for you.
He made the passage out of time,
Into a perfect, everlasting place
Prepared by God's design.
From the old, comes the new;
From death, eternal life will flow.
If it were something we should fear to face,
He would have told us so!
If it were something we should fear to face,
He would have told us so!
3. His Cross, My Life Listen...
Quick MIDI
(Lenten hymn for congregation)
Wounds in the Savior's side, caused by my sin;
Suffered so I could hide safely within.
On yesterday's cross, death was the loss.
New life is mine today.
His scars, my pain;
His blood, my stain;
His death, my name;
Jesus Christ!
He stood where I should be: felon at large.
He paid my penalty; guilty as charged.
On yesterday's cross, guilt was the loss.
Freedom is mine today.
His crime, my shame;
His guilt, my blame;
His bonds, my chain;
Jesus Christ!
Jesus will always give courage to be
Stronger than threats that live all around me.
On yesterday's cross, fear was the loss.
All things are mine today.
His life, my gain;
His truth, my aim;
His cross, my claim!
Jesus Christ!

5. The Betrayal Listen...
Quick MIDI
Unto the Twelve, Jesus said "Before this night is done,
Someone close will betray the Son."
Is it I, who will betray
The Son of man today?
Surely, not I!
Is it he- the person next to me-
The one it is to be?
Surely, not I!
It saddens me
That I could be
A fickle friend,
Untrue.
Who is the soul
To share the bowl
And dip his bread
With you?
Is it I, who will betray
The Son of man today?
Surely, not I!
Is it he- the person next to me-
The one it is to be?
Surely, not I!
The Scriptures show
That you will go,
Betrayed by one
We knew.
What was the trade,
What bargain made?
Was silver paid
For you?
"Is it I?" said Judas to the Man
Who prophesied the plan,
"Surely not I!"
"It is you! Now go and quickly do
What you have bargained to.
Judas, it's you!"
He had been warned,
But Judas scorned;
He was the friend
Untrue.
He left the room;
He sealed his doom;
He sold his soul,
And you.
Unto the Twelve, Jesus said "Before this night is
done,
Someone close will betray the Son."

7.
Peter’s Denial Listen... Quick MIDI
I do not know the man!
I don’t care who this person is.
I never saw the man!
And if you think I’m one of his,
You are mistaken, and,
I tell you once again,
I do not know the man!
I swear to God that I am innocent of what is going on.
I only came because I felt the cold and here the fire is warm.
I’m just a fisherman who lives beside the sea.
What is a Jew who calls himself a king to me?
He comes from Galilee;
There are a lot of people who
Have come from Galilee.
And even though I’m from there, too,
What does he mean to me?
I’ve told you all I can.
I do not know the man!
Upon the courtyard wall the morning sunrise cast a crimson glow.
And silhoueted on the wall, a rooster then began to crow.
When Peter turned, and wept for faith he had not kept,
Repentant tears were shed for all the times he said:
8. Father, Forgive Listen...
Quick MIDI
Father, forgive all that they do;
They don't understand I come from you.
Blinded by sin, they cannot see
They crucify God when they crucify me.
They think I am
Only a man;
They do not know I am each one of them.
So when they cry,
"Crucify!",
They are the guilty judged to die.
Father, forgive all that they say,
They don't understand the truth today.
Blinded by sin, they cannot see
The trouble they're in and how much they need me.
They spit out hate, curse me and jeer;
They do not know their salvation hangs here.
All that they give, I'll gladly take,
And I will ask you, for my sake,
Father, forgive all that they do,
They don't understand I come from you.
Blinded by sin, they cannot see,
They crucify God when they crucify me.
Father, forgive all that they do;
Father, forgive them.
9. The Thief on the Cross Listen... Quick MIDI
Why should he die?
What has this gentle person done?
What is his crime, that he should suffer so?
Now, you and I,
We had our share of foolish fun.
We wasted time, and in our hearts we know
Our death is just; our punishment is well-deserved,
For in our lives we only served ourselves.
But look at him.
There was no cause to crucify.
He had no sin.
Why should he die?
Oh, blessed Lord, how great your love has been to accept
this agony!
When you have come into your kingdom again, Lord, remember me!
10. The Centurion Listen...
Quick MIDI
I'm a soldier, and I know death;
Know the last humiliation at its best.
But I never knew a man like Jesus;
His crucifixion was not like the rest.
I'm a soldier; I've been to war.
I've heard cursing when the battle was not won.
But I never heard a man like Jesus;
He asked that God forgive what we had done.
Someone said he called himself the Son of God;
He could resurrect a temple in three days.
I'm a soldier who believes what he can see,
And I was sure this could not be.
So we dared him to leave the cross,
And we ridiculed to keep ourselves amused.
We cast lots and gambled for his clothing.
We hung a sign that said "King of the Jews".
I'm a soldier, and I control
One hundred men at arms in my command.
But I never had the power of Jesus;
I saw him hold Creation in his hand.
Boulders crumbled and the earth split open wide.
Dead men walked, and darkness blotted out the sun.
I'm a soldier who believes what he can see,
And what I saw, astounded me!
I'm a soldier, and I know death.
It will never keep the One called Jesus down.
This must be the Son of God who died here;
I've seen and I believe he holds the crown.
I've seen and I believe he holds the crown.
11. The Burial Listen...
Quick MIDI
Gently, we took his body down,
Wrapped the spice and linen round
Our Lord.
Tenderly took the crown of thorns
From the head that took the scorn:
Jesus, our Lord.
Mary, and Mary Magdalene
Saw the final bitter scene
Of our Lord.
Carefully watched all that was done
To the Savior and the Son:
Jesus, our Lord.
Love made him carry all our sin,
And, in love, we carried him-
Our Lord.
In the tomb, he laid at rest,
With our tears upon his breast.
Jesus, our Lord.
There was no more we could do,
There was no more we could say.
So we covered his dear face,
Rolled the heavy stone in place,
Then we walked away.

The living sum of Christendom!

And proclaim the news today!
