We'Re You There
Our Lord suffered so much many people don't know this
They're thinking out of touch and so much do they miss
Oh how our Lord was beaten, punched, spit upon the face
But sin Jesus was defeating and how He showed Grace
They tore off His clothes and kicking him to the ground
Torture the Roman guard knows thus Jesus was bound
One lash two lash three lash four, mocking His Name
Soon our Lord's Back tore the Roman guard's finest game
Nor would our Lord sleep as they tormented Him all night
Just Ponder really deep Jesus being such a bloody sight
But this was just the beginning His Blood would flow more
Punishment for all the world sinning by The Lamb so pure
Oh how they beat our Lord then made Him carry our cross
Even pierced by a sword my emotions so violently tossed
Because of why He did it, see, He did it, for me, and you
Think of every tiny little bit and maybe you will see too
The Romans’ scourging whip “had iron balls tied a few inches from the end of each leather thong on the whip. Sometimes, sharp sheep bones would be tied near the ends.” The metal weights served to cause serious bruising, or contusions, and the leather of the thongs cut into the skin. The sheep bones were also made to deepen the lacerations into the skin. After only a few lashes, the depths of the cuts would reach into muscle tissue.
