[Verse]
EmAll we like sheep have gone our own way
DAnd distanced ourselves from our only help
EmOne righteous man, God's perfect plan
DTo pay for our guilt, tear down what we've built
CSeeing His face, Gnothing would catch you at Bmall
CThe world that He loved, Gdespised him, this man of Bmsorrows
[Verse]
EmFirst He's betrayed, then taken away
DHis friends turn their backs and hang by their necks
EmSilent He goes, as one one who knows
DDespite any plea, the verdict will be:
C'Guilty as charged! Now, Gbeat him till no one can Bmtell...
CWho He once was, Gthen hang up His body with Bmnails!'
[Verse]
EmSurely up there, our sorrow He bears
DSee how He shakes, life slowly escapes
EmThe King is crushed, collapsing His lungs
DShowering the... nations in blood
CYet this is the wGay His Father has chosen to Bmpay
COne righteous Man Ghas many more righteous men Bmmade

[Verse]

All we like sheep have gone our own way

And distanced ourselves from our only help

One righteous man, God's perfect plan

To pay for our guilt, tear down what we've built

C G Bm

Seeing His face, nothing would catch you at all

C G Bm

The world that He loved, despised him, this man of sorrows

[Verse]

First He's betrayed, then taken away

His friends turn their backs and hang by their necks

Silent He goes, as one one who knows

Despite any plea, the verdict will be:

C G Bm

'Guilty as charged! Now, beat him till no one can tell...

C G Bm

Who He once was, then hang up His body with nails!'

[Verse]

Surely up there, our sorrow He bears

See how He shakes, life slowly escapes

The King is crushed, collapsing His lungs

Showering the... nations in blood

C G Bm

Yet this is the way His Father has chosen to pay

C G Bm

One righteous Man has many more righteous men made
