1800's hymn turned into rock
just now coming into my own as a songwriter , with the help of some awesome friends!
Story behind the song
Had a "Year Book Of Hymns" that had words but no music and when I read the Hymn Who Is This So Weak And Helpless" I heard rock!
Lyrics
Who is this so weak and helpless
Child of lowly Hebrew maid
Crudely in an stable sheltered
Cold in a manger laid
It's the Lord of all creation
Who this wondrous path has trod
He is God from everlasting
And to everlasting God
V2
Who is this man of sorrows
Walking sadly life's hard way
Homeless. weary .sighing,weeping
Over sin and Satan's sway?
It's our God,our Glorious Savior
Who above the starry sky
Now prepares a place from us
Where no tear can dim the eye
Chorus
Who is this?
Behold Him shedding drops of Blood on the ground!
Who is this ?
despised, rejected , mocked, beaten, and bound?
It's our God who's gifts and Grace
On His Church, is now pouring on!
Who shall smite in holy vengeance
All His foes beneath His Throne!
V3
Who is this that hung there dying
While the world scoffs and scorns
Numbered with the criminals
Pierced with nails and crowned with thorns?
It's the God who is Eternal!
The Name Above All Names!
So let us lift our voice together,
And declare that "our God Reigns"!
Chorus x2
Who is this?
Behold Him shedding drops of Blood on the ground!
Who is this ,
despised, rejected , mocked, beaten, and bound?
It's our God who's gifts and Grace
On His Church, is now pouring on!
Who shall smite in holy vengeance
All His foes beneath His Throne!
out:
Who is this
Pierced with nails and crowned with thorns?
