despised and rejected – v4

The ancient scroll was unrolled
as he started to speak
the words springing off the paper;
The words had come to life with His Passion,
the story of this week

He was despised and rejected,
Christ was tortured and abandoned;
He was disfigured by their punishment
the stark cruelty of Man

He was despised and rejected
yet He was chosen by God;
Christ became the sin offering
to redeem our mortal souls

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