His wounds are for our healing, our peace is by his pain. Behold, the Man of Sorrows, the Lamb for sinners slain! 3 In Christ the past is over; a new world now begins. With him we rise to freedom who saves us from our sins. We live by faith in Jesus to make his glory known. Behold, the Man of Sorrows, the Lamb upon his throne!
