for us - lonnie edwards lyrics

by lonnie edwards

verse 1:
turn the pages come let’s study the one who gave his
life paid the price so we could be saved this
man is the key to unlock you from your cages
setting you free, jesus the rock of ages
was scorned in the praetorium crowned with th*rns
beat with a reed he was mocked and even spat on
disrespected by so many he was rejected
cause he didn’t come as they expected
his face they wrecked it, the roman guards they scarred and marred
the son of god cause he taught truth in synagogues
and the city streets the jews knew jesus was pretty deep
they couldn’t take the heat so they sought to delete
christ they screamed “crucify this guy, he’s not our king, he only speak lies and blasphemes
can you picture the master of all getting beating like a slave just so we could be saved

hook:
he was wounded, bruised for us, chastised and despised for us
he was tried, pierced in the side and he died for us
but he rose jesus is alive for us

verse 2:
visualize him being led away to be k!lled
seeing all the folks for whom his blood would be spilled
to the place of a skull it’s set the execution
of the lamb of god paying our debt, our substituition
as he travels up the calvary trail, the via dola rosa
some railed while others bewailed as he was getting closer
he could see the point of the nails
he was about to take just to save a people from h*ll
picture the pain
as he hangs on the cross blood loss spike ripping his veins
cover with cuts, lashes, and welts
the chief priest said “he saved others but he can’t save himself”
arms stretched wide jesus christ crucified
for the sins of men that’s why the lord died
he was wounded, bruised, chastised, tried
pierced in the side, he died but he’s alive for us

hook:
he was wounded, bruised for us, chastised and despised for us
he was tried, pierced in the side and he died for us
but he rose jesus is alive for us

verse 3:
what happened next, check the text haven’t you heard
what occurred, it’s recorded in the word
the women brought spices prepared for anointing
his body but he wasn’t there how disappointing
no! not at all just as he told he rose like a flower
up from the grave with all power
jesus redeems oh death where is thy sting
swallowed up in victory thanks to christ my king
i sing praises to god and i ring
the alarm cause jesus is coming so i bring
the gospel to you like a waitor
serving the lost the message of the cross there’s no one greater
than the lord jesus christ he’s the savior
come to christ now not later he paid the
price the ultimate sacrifice was made
his life he gave so we could be saved

hook:
he was wounded, bruised for us, chastised and despised for us
he was tried, pierced in the side and he died for us
but he rose jesus is alive for us
