STRIPES SPEAK OUT
Lyrics
Verse 1:
Dying at our hands
No sin could claim our Savior
No proven accusation was found
Giving up Himself
To please a wrath we’re breeding
To turn the hearts of grieving men around
Prechorus:
All our faults were covered by another
Bleeding innocence
With muted mouth, His stripes speak out
Enduring our consequence
Chorus:
His cross before us, standing
His grave, it remains empty
Jesus, our everlasting
Savior, Savior
Verse 2:
Bearing the curse of man
He takes the sinner’s burden
Erasing debt that only He could lift
Raised to life again
His grace declares us righteous
Victorious over all sin and death
Prechorus:
All our faults were covered by another
Bleeding innocence
With muted mouth, His stripes speak out
Enduring our consequence
Chorus:
His cross before us, standing
His grave, it remains empty
Jesus, our everlasting
Savior, Savior
Reprise:
God came as man, Emmanuel
Emmanuel
And died our death in the Father’s will
Father’s will
Walked from His tomb, the church will sing
Church will sing
All glory to Christ, our living King
