The hired hands
the thief on the cross
those who could not see
mocking our king
the living God
the lamb upon the altar
They could not see
they did not believe
the fulfillment of the Word
Christ came to save
but they denied his name
just as had been foretold
He took on our sin
the stain of our shame
becoming the sacrifice
walking in
the way of the Lord
Dying that we may live
humble, to the cross
