What was He feeling?
As the Just One stood accused
What was He feeling?
At their mockery of truth
What was He feeling?
Right before the rooster crowed
How did it feel to watch His friends all let Him go?

What was He feeling?
What was Jesus going through?
How did He manage
Such injustice and abuse?
What was driving Him that day?
A force that’s greater such pain
It must be love
For the Father He obeyed
It must be love
For bride He came to save

What was He feeling?
As the King of Kings was crowned
What was He feeling?
As the mocking soldiers bowed
What was He feeling?
Right when Judas kissed His face
How did it feel to share His bread and be betrayed?

What was He feeling?
What was Jesus going through?
How did He manage
Such injustice and abuse?
What was driving Him that day?
A force that’s greater such pain
It must be love
For the Father He obeyed
It must be love
For bride He came to save

And how did it feel
As the nails drove in?
Oh, how did it feel
As He bore my sin?
How did it feel
To be turned away
By the Father He loved
As He still obeyed? \ By the Father He loved
As He still obeyed

This is the Lamb
This is the Lamb of God
We honor Him

This is the Son
This is the Son of God
We worship Him
