Lyrics
Come, O sinner, come and see Christ the Lord upon a tree.
See the crown of thorns adorn the King who labors to breathe in agony.
Come, O sinner, come and see what our God became to set us free.
Come, O sinner, come and mourn, for He calls your sin His own.
Do you feel the weight of justice served? He suffers the wrath that you deserve.
Come, O sinner, come and mourn, for He bears the curse for all you've done.
Oh, the wonder of this awesome scene where our Savior bleeds.
Oh, the power of the love of God. Come and stand in awe.
Come, O sinner, come rejoice. Mercy fills this place of scorn.
For He dies to save His enemies, that all who draw near may know His peace.
Come, O sinner, come rejoice, through the death of Christ, death is destroyed.
Oh, the wonder of this awesome scene where our Savior bleeds.
Oh, the power of the love of God. Come and stand in awe.
