33 when He died...for no crime was He tried... | Em | C | G | D | Whips would tear His back and sides… | Em | C | G | D | Enduring pain, for the kingdom’s reign…was on His mind. | Em | C | G | D | A crown of thorns was placed on His head... | Em | C | G | D | A King’s crown...to wear...to death. | Em | C | G | D | As the crowd cheered, the high priests jeered, | Em | C | G | D | Crucify Him…given a cross of wood to bear. Chorus | G | D | Em | C | He bore the cross, endured the pain, | G | D | Em | C | For love so deep, He took the strain, | G | D | Em | C | Risen now, His kingdom reigns, | G | D | Em | C | Jesus lives, forever proclaimed. Verse 2 | Em | C | G | D | To journey's end...He carries the burden of our sin... | Em | C | G | D | The beam of wood He bore...red with blood from skin it tore... | Em | C | G | D | Robe of royal red for a gown... | Em | C | G | D | Stripped and torn as soldiers threw Him to the ground. | Em | C | G | D | Rope to bind...and hammer to nail... | Em | C | G | D | Hear His mother’s wail… | Em | C | G | D | As they nailed Him to the tree... | Em | C | G | D | Why, why, why? So He could die for you and me. Verse 3 | Em | C | G | D | His garments were tossed to the side, | Em | C | G | D | And lots cast for the prize. | Em | C | G | D | As the sky darkened and the sun paled... | Em | C | G | D | He gave in to death’s wail. | Em | C | G | D | A spear thrust into His side, to be certain He had died... | Em | C | G | D | Laid gently in the shroud, away from the maddening crowd… | Em | C | G | D | As they carried Him to His final rest... | Em | C | G | D | To the tomb...His mother remembers Him in the womb. Verse 4 | Em | C | G | D | The rock rolled to seal His fate... | Em | C | G | D | Guardsmen posted to watch and wait. | Em | C | G | D | Three days, the prophecy claimed… | Em | C | G | D | Death would not remain. | Em | C | G | D | Angels would proclaim… | Em | C | G | D | Jesus of Nazareth has risen… | Em | C | G | D | Through His name, all the heavens and earth are His reign. Chorus (Repeat) | G | D | Em | C | He bore the cross, endured the pain, | G | D | Em | C | For love so deep, He took the strain, | G | D | Em | C | Risen now, His kingdom reigns, | G | D | Em | C | Jesus lives, forever proclaimed.
