For You and Me

The nails were long and not so thin,
The spear was sharpened and forced so deep
The tree was wretched and heavy for Him
But still He went this way for me

The jeers were loud, harsh and sour
The very crowd who named Him King
With their branches and clothes they did
But still He went this way for me

The betrayal and disbelief so unfair
The coldness and pain of death He embraced
With courage and obedience in mind
He went this way for you and me.
