Pain in the eyes of Jesus

Cutting me to my core
a wedge piercing my heart
anguish at the pain I had caused
denying the Son of God

There in David’s city
in the Temple of the Lord
I had denied my Savior
my brother, my God

Pain in the eyes of Jesus
the Messiah, the Christ
there in the dock of injustice
in the hands of the corrupt judge

My denial so powerful
just what he had said I would do
denying him thrice
before the cock crowed
night still wrapped round me

Pain in the eyes of Jesus
the king become the lamb
my sin already transferred
because I denied the man

God going to the cross
dying in brutal shame
crucified at least in part
because I denied his name
