despised and rejected – v3

The ancient scroll unrolled
the words springing off the paper;
Come to life with His Passion,
the story of this week

Despised and rejected
tortured and abandoned;
Disfigured by the punishment
the stark cruelty of Man

Despised and rejected
yet chosen by God;
Become the sin offering
to redeem our mortal souls

Beaten and humiliated
Christ was nailed to the cross;
The Paschal Lamb humble
submitting to the will of God
