Slaughtered For Peace

Sinless flesh fell To the ground Sinners' stripes He bore them with no sound Hypocrites yell Crucify Crown of thorns He wore it with no cry Guilty set free Without a cost As He dragged The cruel and heavy cross Laid in shame, He Endured the nails Lifted up His breath began to fail See the love hanging on that tree Wasted as a sacrifice See the blood dripping from His feet Still His arms are open wide Worthy is the Lamb who was slain Holy is the Lord Almighty Suffered those piercing pains Slaughtered for peace Jesus, Lamb of God Sent to suffer The deepest grief Pierced and crushed For our iniquities Like lamb to the slaughter Slain for us Crucified Yet He opened not His mouth See the love hanging on that tree Wasted as a sacrifice See the blood dripping from His feet Still His arms are open wide Worthy is the Lamb who was slain Holy is the Lord Almighty Suffered those piercing pains Slaughtered for peace Jesus, Lamb of God Receive the love dying on that cross Let His wounds heal your heart Receive the blood pouring from His side Let His death bring you life Receive the love dying on that cross Let His wounds heal your heart Receive the blood pouring from His side Let His death bring you life Worthy is the Lamb who was slain Holy is the Lord Almighty Suffered those piercing pains Slaughtered for peace Jesus, Lamb of God Jesus, Lamb of God
