cursed for me

Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us—for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who is hanged on a tree”—

Galatians 3:13

Cursed for me

by condemnation

to the cross

He willingly carried

my shame

Mocked for me

by sinners

gathered round Him

as He was dying

scoffing His name

Dying for me

Jesus took

my punishment

on a cross

of wood

Forgiving me

and the others

who mocked Him

in mercy He did

all He could

Living for me

so I am delivered

from sin, shame, guilt, wrath

Jesus rose and gave me

life eternal

Blessing me now

in the heavenly places

He intercedes

and pleads and loves me

co-heir with Him fraternal
