Sight of You Lyrics

On the streets that day to Calvary

I stopped and stared to see

A man chained to a tree

Stripped and worn, sunken crown of thorns

The man who now stood alone

Was once praised and adorned

Oh the sight of you I can't explain

How you looked at me that day

Lord how could you ever love this way

As we took you to your grave

His mother came, surrounded by his friends

A woman struck with grief

The sword had pierced again

A lamb led to the slaughter for our sins

How could we ever know

The pain she must endure

Oh the sight of you I can't explain

How you looked at me that day

Lord how could you ever love this way

As we took you to your grave

I couldn't stand as they mocked his pain

This man who healed us all

Now he had to fall

I moved toward, just wanting to embrace

A cloth to ease the strain

The tears and bloody stains

Oh the sight of you I can't explain

How you looked at me that day

Lord how could you ever love this way

As we took you to your grave

Father, forgive them, for they know not what they are doing

(forgive us how could we have known?)

Truly I tell you, today you'll join me in paradise

(In your pain you still showed mercy)

Woman, here is your son

(Here is our mother)

Eli lema sabachthani

Father, into your hand I commit my spirit
