Passion Perceptions

Tune: O Waly Waly

(\'An upper room did our Lord prepare\')

*******

Gathered there in upper room they met

For to remember, ne\'er forget

Sharing of Communion, bread and wine

Meeting with Christ, the Son divine

 

He at His passion wept, toiled and died

But none could take His part beside

To be our Saviour, to take our place

For all of any age, each race

 

In His scourging, stripes cut flesh, He bled

Though now arisen, once was dead

By His stripes we are healed, unconcealed

His broken body there revealed

 

He rich, though for our sakes became poor

That we might share His treasure store

Battered and bruised, spat upon, defiled

He sinless, us has reconciled

 

For see your sins there upon Him laid

As lamb to slaughter, price He paid

Man of Sorrows, yet now joy lasting

\'Tis all fruit of His offering

 

We know not all, why pains, sufferings be

But may view Christ upon the tree (the cross)

Loving, He saves, gives His life that we

Redeemed eternally may be
