Exalted Dirt - "King of the Jews" - recorded 2010
words and music by Corey Finney
Despised, rejected by men--
The Man of sorrows,
Acquainted with grief--
We have hid our faces from You.
You were hated,
But we didn't care about You.
(Isaiah 53:3)
You gave Your back to be beaten,
Your cheeks to those
Who ripped out Your beard,
Hiding not Your face from shame
And from their spit.
(Isaiah 50:6)
All hail the King of the Jews!
(Matthew 27:29)
A statement of mockery
Now becomes our praise,
For You are the One who was crucified,
Dead, buried, and raised.
(I Corinthians 15:4)
All hail the King of the Jews!
Wounded for our tresspasses,
You were bruised for our wickedness.
The punishment needed to gain our peace
Was placed upon You,
And by the stripes of Your gruesome beatings
We are healed!
(Isaiah 53:5)
You poured out Your soul unto death
And were counted among the criminals,
Bearing the sin of us all,
Interceding for the transgressors.
(Isaiah 53:12)
All hail the King of the Jews!
A statement of mockery
Now becomes our praise,
For You are the One who was crucified,
Dead, buried, and raised.
You will not leave my soul in the depths,
Nor did You decompose in the grave.
(Psalm 16:10)
You ascended on high;
You led captivity captive,
Giving gifts to us,
Those who have rebelled against You,
That You, the Eternal One,
May live among us.
(Psalm 68:18,
Ephesians 4:
All hail the King of the Jews!
