He spoke his preparation
He spoke of this time
Said they will hand Him over
To be mocked to be flogged to be crucified

So they led Him down to the post He knew
To be tied and bound to be stripped and bruised
With a scarlet robe wrapped around his frame
They spit insults inside a deserving name

Then the whip falls down oh on his back
You come again with your nine black straps
Oh whip fall down you can have your day
For these stripes will heal oh these stripes will save

You can strike this man, you can make Him bleed
But some day you’ll answer, on your knees

Wind those thorns make your cursed crown
But you bind those horns trap a good reason
There’s a sacrifice on the table set
But Abe’s son was spared and the Lord’s He forgets

You can strike this man, you can make Him bleed
But some day you’ll answer, on your knees

Whip fall down would you make your mark
You have set the stage you are just the start
You have paved the way you are just the start
