Lyrics Behold The Man - The Imperials, Jim Murray

Behold The Man

Like a lamb to the slaughter
They led Him away
He was battered, bruised, and beaten
For the sheep who’d gone astray
He was a man of sorrows
Well acquainted with our grief
He had to die for our sin and unbelief
Through the scourging and the beatings
He never said a thing
With a crown of thorns and a purple robe
They mocked Him as a King
Though Pilate found no fault in Him
That He should have to die
The crowd cried out, «Away with Him!
He must be crucified!»
Behold the Man
Behold the Man
Though blameless He became
The perfect sacrificial lamb
Behold the Man
Behold the Man
Really look at Him
And then you’ll understand
So many hid their faces
They just could not see
How the Son of God could be
This broken man from Galilee
And still today so many
Haven’t opened up their eyes
For if they’d only look at Him
They’d know that He’s the Christ
Behold the Man
Behold the Man
Though blameless He became
The perfect sacrificial lamb
Behold the Man
Behold the Man
Really look at Him
And then you’ll understand
Behold the Man
Behold the Man
Really look at Him
Just look at Him
And then you’ll understand
Ooh-ooh…
