Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
Jesus, man of sorrows, prince in disguise
Royalty veiled, You were despised
Jesus, man of sorrows, acquainted with grief
Tasting our tears, teaching us peace
Pierced for our sin, crushed for our pride
You bore the weight of our iniquities
Jesus, man of suffering, You walked in our skin
Tempted like us, yet You never sinned
Jesus, man of suffering, You were betrayed
Abandoned by all, yet You forgave
Pierced for our sin, crushed for our pride
You bore our weight
Pierced for our sin, crushed for our pride
You bore the weight of our iniquities
Jesus, man of sorrows, the King in disguise
Man of sorrow, what a name
For the Son of God who came
Who sinners to reclaim
Hallelujah, what a Savior
Hallelujah, what a Savior
Hallelujah, what a Savior
