They taunt Him, with their fists they beat Him, blindfolded He was led away They strike the Savior, God's chosen Messiah, and then they crowned Him with thorns Silent before the Shears, He remained in His chains And He did so in the face of their lies Silent before the Shears, He remained in His chains There’ll be no miracles seen by their eyes Silent before the Shears, He remained in His chains And He did so in the face of their lies Silent before the Shears, He remained in His chains There’ll be no miracles seen by their eyes At Herod's Palace, where Jesus was now standing trial In the Upper City, in sight of Skull Hill Hauled in by chains by guards who mocked Jesus Christ Chief priests and teachers accused Him with lies When he saw Jesus, King Herod was greatly pleased For long, he sought to see a miracle performed He plied with as many questions as he desired to ask Herod mocked Jesus when no answers were said In a robe they clothed him, ridiculed and mocked him To Pontius Pilate they sent Him away They mock the Savior, God's only son Herod and Pilate now friends Silent before the Shears, He remained in His chains And He did so in the face of their lies Silent before the Shears, He remained in His chains There’ll be no miracles seen by their eyes Silent before the Shears, He remained in His chains And He did so in the face of their lies Silent before the Shears, He remained in His chains There’ll be no miracles seen by their eyes Christ was returned to site of the Praetorium The wife of Pilate warned him to abstain Pilate called the people, the rulers and the priests And said to them: You brought me this man I have examined him and found no grounds for your charge Neither has Herod who sent him back to me So I will punish him and release him back to the world- For he's done nothing, that’s deserving of death But the whole crowd shouted, to release Barabbas And they called him to send Jesus away They showed no mercy, Israel's Savior, they just call for His death Silent before the Shears, He remained in His chains And He did so in the face of their lies Silent before the Shears, He remained in His chains There’ll be no miracles seen by their eyes Silent before the Shears, He remained in His chains And He did so in the face of their lies Silent before the Shears, He remained in His chains There’ll be no miracles seen by their eyes Silent before the Shears, He remained in His chains And He did so in the face of their lies Silent before the Shears, He remained in His chains There’ll be no miracles seen by their eyes Silent before the Shears, He remained in His chains And He did so in the face of their lies Silent before the Shears, He remained in His chains There’ll be no miracles seen by their eyes
