I remember being in church one sunday on Easter and we were singing a hymn that talked about Jesus as the man of sorrows. I was inspired and this song was born.

Man of Sorrows
You took the pain for me
Man of Sorrows
Your mercy set me free
You lived a life of suffering
You lived a life so hard
Your people cursed and beat you
Not knowing who you are

Man of Sorrows
How did you take the pain
Man of Sorrows
Your friends all ran away
One he would deny you
Another would betray
You heard the screams of hatred
From people that you made

(chorus)
Greater Love has none the man
Has none the man than this
That he should lay his life down
For his friends. 2X

Man of Sorrows
They nailed you to a tree
Man of Sorrows
They mocked your misery
The soldiers gambled for your clothes
Your mama Mary cried
The sky was filled with darkness
The moment that you died

Man of Sorrows
They put you in a tomb
Man of Sorrows
They thought they'd sealed your doom
The guards they came with spears in hand
To keep your friends at bay
The Angels left them cold as ice
When they rolled that stone away

(Repeat Chorus) 2X
