Son of Suffering Songtext
von Maverick City Music

Oh, the perfect son of God
In all his innocence
Here walking in the dirt with you and me
He knows what living is
He′s acquainted with our grief
Man of sorrows and son of suffering

Blood and tears
How can it be?
There's a God who weeps
There′s a God who bleeds
Oh, praise the one
Who had reached for me
Hallelujah
To the son of suffering
Oh, oh


Some imagine you
Are distant and removed
But you chased us down in merciful pursuit (Woo)
To the sinner, you were grace (Yeah, yeah)
And the broken you embraced
And in the end, the proof is in your wounds
Oh, in the end, the proof is in your wounds

And blood and tears
How can it be?
There's a God who weeps
There's a God who bleeds
Oh, praise the one (Yeah, yeah)
Who reached for me (Yeah, yeah)
(Hallelujah) Hallelujah
To the son of suffering

Oh (Ooh)
Whoa (Whoa)
He cries when you cry (Oh, yes, he does)
He weeps when You weep (Oh, yes, he does)
Oh oo, oh oo (He weeps when you weep)
He understands the pain
He holds every tear (Mm)

Your cross, my freedom
Your stripes, my healing
All praise King Jesus
Glory to God in Heaven


Your blood, still speaking (Yeah, yeah)
Your love, still reaching
All praise King Jesus
Glory to God in Heaven

Your cross, my freedom (Oh, oh)
Your stripes, my healing (Oh, oh)
All praise King Jesus (Oh, oh)
Glory to God in Heaven

Your blood (Your blood), still speaking (It′s still speaking)
Your love (Your love), is still reaching (Is still reaching)
All praise (All praise) King Jesus
Glory to God in Heaven (One more time)

Your cross, my freedom
Your stripes, my healing
All praise King Jesus
There′s glory to God in Heaven

Your blood (Yeah, yeah), still speaking (It's still speaking)
Your love (Your love), is still reaching (It′s still reaching)
All praise (All praise) King Jesus (Yeah)
Glory to God forever
Glory to God forever (Always good, 'cause you thought of me, reached for me)
Glory to God forever

You reached for me (Yeah)
You reached for me (You reached for me)
You reached for me, oh (Glory to God forever)
Your grace, it never failed (Yeah)
Your love, it never left (Glory to God forever)
It was there, in the wilderness (Yeah)
It was there (It was there) in the drought (Glory to God forever, in the drought)
It was there in my brokenness
Glory to God forever

Your cross gave me freedom (Yes, Lord Jesus)
Your stripes gave me healing (Yes, Lord Jesus)
Your cross gave me freedom (Mm)
Glory to God forever

Your love gave perspective (Yes, yes, yes)
Yeah (Mm)
Your word spoke the truth over me (Mm)
Glory to God forever

How can it be?
There′s a God who weeps
There's a God who still bleeds
Oh, praise the one
Who reached for me (Will reach for me)
Hallelujah
To the son of suffering
