Jesus on the cross your Father you obeyed.

and were crushed as you stayed

But why my saviour, did your Father hurt you so

Oh He loved and thought of me

when with stripes Jesus died

A cup so painful and so straight

I cannot understand,

How could you your crown fling down

without your glory and like me became

Now Father can I like your Son the same

My cross of pain and wounding offer up to you

like you afflicted your Son

I am not downcast and still love you Father

I still trust your loving hand and

I am close to you when I am so weak

Trusting in you and leaning on you for courage to complete

My life in this world.

I see your glory in heaven where I will be

Where my present pain vanishes and

The pleasure of love to you and worship is forever

Can I stand one more day of hurting and the loneliness of pain

Yes my Father I can for the love of you my reward and my gain

My spirit and my soul soars to you beyond earths realm

Though you hurt me and crush me no harm to my spirit you do

May I delight you as the scent of a crushed rose to you
