The song celebrates this 'divine exchange' as the basis for salvation and praise. It draws on themes of the cross, grace, and redemption, pointing to the victory over the grave. The repeated 'Alleluia' underscores a tone of gratitude and worship for God's sacrificial love.

O see the man of sorrow
See the Son of God
Stripped of Heaven�??s glory
In the name of relentless
Love pure and undeserved
Sure as Calvary
Weighed upon His shoulders
All our grief
Our iniquity
Alleluia Alleluia
Praise be to God
Alleluia
O hear the scoffer mocking
See the Savior�??s tears
Wounded and forsaken
Son of Man
Oh behold Him
Here in the stead of failing
Burdened by despair
It was more than nails
Love alone
Is what kept Him there
Alleluia Alleluia
Praise be to God
Alleluia
O for the joy before Him
He was crucified
And the grave defeated
Through His death
He has ransomed
Life for the crippled sinner
And His stripes for pain
Every curse now broken
We receive this Divine Exchange
Alleluia Alleluia
Praise be to God
Alleluia Alleluia
Praise be to God
Alleluia
