Gaither Vocal Band's 'Man of Sorrows' is a classic hymn that reflects on the suffering and sacrifice of Jesus Christ. The song emphasizes His role as the sinless Lamb who bore shame and condemnation to redeem sinners. It highlights the atonement accomplished on the cross and the victory of His resurrection, culminating in His exalted position in heaven. The lyrics also look forward to Christ's return as King, when believers will sing a new song of praise. The repeated refrain 'Hallelujah! What a Savior!' underscores gratitude for salvation and the profound love demonstrated through the cross.

Man of sorrows, what a Name
For the son of God who came
Ruined sinners to reclaim
Hallelujah! What a Savior!

Bearing shame and scoffing rude
In my place condemned he stood
Sealed my pardon with his blood
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Hallelujah! What a Savior!

Guilty, vile, and helpless we
Spotless Lamb of God was he
Full atonement
Can it be?
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Hallelujah! What a Savior!

Lifted up was He to die
It is finished
Was His cry
Now in heaven exalted high
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Hallelujah! What a Savior!

When He comes, our glorious King
All His rasomed home to bring
With a new song we will sing
Hallelujah! What a Savior!
Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
What a Savior! What a Savior!
What a Savior!
What a Savior!
