39 LASHES 歌詞

Is this a fact or fiction? I heard a cruel description About a blameless victim Who served a vicious sentence Thirty-nine lashes on his back A crown of thorns shoved on top of his head while they laughed Jagged nails driven thru his flesh On a tree where he later would end up dead How could they kill A righteous man Who only spoke of truth and love Our lord's command? He paid the price (the price of death) For all our sin He sacrificed a perfect life So we may live Right before his death He made a prayer to forgive The mockers, insulters Who were blind to the grace he would give And right beside him Was a sorrowful thief Who cried of repentance Please remember me when you are king The earth was shook, the sky went black The curtain of the temple was torn in half He cried to God, his spirit left Down below to the fire of darkest depths On the third day his word came true The dawn of hope for me, for you And out of the depths the son of God Rose from the grave against the odds That's why they killed The righteous man Who only spoke of truth and love Our lord's command He paid the price (the price of death) For all our sin He sacrificed a perfect life So we may live
