man of sorrows
wolves at the gate
key of Cm
if you don’t like the key , transpose and capo to your liking .
verse 1
Cm D# A# Fm
blistered feet , bloodied alone , walked the streets a man unknown
Cm D# A# Fm
battered face as he adorns , a mocker’s robe , a crown of thorns
Cm D# A# Fm
a tree designed for his demise , cursed , maligned by guilty cries
Cm D# A# Fm
the nails and hammer they did meet , two in the hands , one in the feet
Cm D# A# Fm
risen up , put on display , for a guilty mob to scream and say
chorus 1
Cm D#
“crucify! crucify!”
A# Fm
the people yelled to crucify
Cm D#
“he must die! he must die!”
A# Fm ( Cm )
without a fight he did comply
verse 2
Cm Cm/D# G#
i do not know the pain you felt , or lowly service as you knelt
D# A#
down before such lowly men you served ( and washed their feet )
Cm Cm/D# G#
who is this man they sent to die? many still could not reply
D# A#
betrayed and sold by his very own ( with a kiss )
Cm D# G# Fm
he met the needs of thousands fed , healed the sick and raised the dead
Cm D# A# Fm
“my god! my god!” the man did say , “have you forsaken me this day?”
Cm D# A# Fm
bleeding , dying; words were few , “forgive them lord for what they do”
Cm D# A# Fm ( Cm , A# )
gasping breath they heard him say , “it is finished!”
interlude
Cm A#
laid below the ground you knew it couldn’t hold you
Cm A#
they thought that you were bound by nature’s laws
bridge
Fm G# D#
for the veil that was torn in two and the darkness that would ensue
A# Fm
a symbol alas that the debt was finally paid
G# D#
when the stone it was rolled away , he was no longer where he lay
A# G#
surely our king had risen from the dead
tag
G# Cm A#
on and on and on we’re singing , singing out for all to hear us
verse 3
G# Cm A#
this is not a simple story; our lives are for your glory
G# Cm A#
beyond my words and written pages , your song across the ages
