Majesty in Misery

Though all of us have gone our own way Though all of us have left and gone astray The Savior restrained, the King he was chained For a people of unclean lips with our hands blood stained No rebellious cries with only love in his eyes He knew our sin meant his demise And as he walked in such grace In grief he fell on his face In light of all that he would embrace Distressed, until it was complete Distressed till death had met defeat While never calling retreat or even signaled defeat This work was not yet complete Despite the pain that'd ensue, and of the torment he knew, His face was set to see it through The Savior restrained, the King he was chained For a people of unclean lips with our hands blood stained The Savior restrained, the King he was chained For the sake of his glory and love his power abstained Though all of us have gone our own way Though all of us have left and gone astray Cast down by wicked plans, tortured by our own hands Despised, deformed, disgraced Forgiving all he faced He was distressed until it finished The pain endured was not diminished Until the victory's sound and was won "Not my will but yours be done" He drank it all, the cup of God's wrath He drank it down to the end He drank it all, the cup of God's wrath He drank it down to the bitter end You laid our wickedness on his head For all we've done and all that we've said He was crushed for our transgressions He was pierced for all our sins How could your death mean that I live? When it's my life that brought you death? Oh God I truly give, my beating heart and living breath --- Majesty in Misery - Wolves at the Gate
