He was born to die-- so I could be born to new life -- He suffered temptation-- so I can experience victory -- He was betrayed-- so I might know his faithfulness -- He was arrested and bound-- so I could be rescued from bondage -- He stood trial alone-- so I might have an advocate -- He was wounded-- so I could be healed -- He endured mockery-- so I could know dignity and joy -- He was condemned-- so the truth could set me free -- He was crowned with thorns-- so I might crown him with praise -- He was nailed to the cross-- so I might escape judgment -- He was stretched out between thieves-- so I could know the reach of love -- He suffered thirst-- so I can drink living water -- He said "It is finished"-- so I could begin my walk of faith -- He was God's lamb, slain-- so I could claim his sacrifice as my own -- He was forsaken by the Father-- so I would never be rejected -- He chose the shame of weakness-- so I can know the hope of glory -- He shed his blood-- so I can be white as snow -- His heart was pierced-- so mine could be made whole -- He died and was buried-- so the grave could not hold me -- He arose again-- so I might experience eternal life -- He is known by his scars-- so I will take up my cross and follow him.
