He was bruised, He was bleeding, on His head a crown of thorns
And the lips of the angry mob cried out in their scorn

Sacrifice, holy sacrifice
How it pleased my God above
Christ made sin for me, suffering agony
It was a sacrifice of love

The weight of my sin held Him down to the tree
And He cried out in anguish as He bled there for me

Sacrifice, holy sacrifice
How it pleased my God above
Christ made sin for me, suffering agony
It was a sacrifice of love

The wrath of Almighty God poured out on that tree
On the Lamb of God, his only Son, the Father turned away

Sacrifice, holy sacrifice
How it pleased my God above
Christ made sin for me, suffering agony
It was a sacrifice of love

Christ made sin for me, suffering agony
It was a sacrifice of love
