MY CHILD, IT'S TRUE,
AND ITS TIME TO SEE
I TOOK YOUR BONDAGE
THAT YOU WOULD BE FREE!
I TOOK THE BEATINGS
THE BRUISING AND STRIPES,
THAT YOU WOULD BE HEALED
AND LEAD OTHERS TO LIFE!
I TOOK THE CURSES,
THE RANTINGS, THE SCREAMS,
THAT YOU WOULD HAVE REST,
AND LIE DOWN BY COOL STREAMS!
I TOOK THE THIRST
WHILE HANGING IN SHAME,
THAT YOU'D DRINK LIVING WATERS
NEVER BEING THE SAME!
I TOOK SEPARATION,
FROM FATHER ABOVE,
THAT YOU COULD FOREVER
BASK IN HIS LOVE!
I TOOK THE NAILS
IN MY HANDS AND FEET,
SO YOU COULD WALK, TOUCHING
ALL LIVES YOU WILL MEET!
I TOOK THE BLAME
FOR ALL YOU DO,
PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE
LET NO GUILT WEIGH ON YOU!
I TOOK THE SHAME,
OF DEATH ON THE CROSS,
SO YOU WOULD HAVE LOVE ,
NOT TASTING SUCH LOSS!
I TOOK YOUR PLACE,
HANGING ON THAT TREE,
NOW YOU TAKE MY PLACE
GO SET MY PEOPLE FREE!
YOUR KING,
JESUS
