Mocking Our King – v3

The hired hands
the thief on the cross
those who could not see
mocking our King
the living God
the Lamb upon our 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
a choice not ours to make
walking in the way of God
Dying that we may live,
humble, to the cross
