| All of us like sheep have gone astray
|
| Each of us has turned to his own way
|
| But the Lord has made the sins of all to fall on Him
|
| Despised, he was rejected,
|
| to death subjected
|
| Instead of me,
|
| he took the blame the misery
|
| Instead of me,
|
| he suffered silent agony
|
| And in that final breath,
|
| he died alone the sinners' death
|
| Instead of me
|
| Willingly He laid His glory down
|
| Traded wealth to wear a piercing crown
|
| Till the Father’s one demand He met at Calvary
|
| Alone, stripped of His majesty,
|
| He cried «Thou has forsaken me,»
|
| Instead of me,
|
| he took the blame the misery
|
| Instead of me,
|
| he suffered silent agony
|
| And in that final breath,
|
| he died alone the sinners' death
|
| Instead of me
|
| Instead of me,
|
| he took the blame the misery
|
| Instead of me,
|
| he suffered silent agony
|
| And in that final breath,
|
| he died alone the sinners' death
|
| Instead of me |
