Hillsong United Blown Away Lyrics

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]
Oh, troubled Messiah
You prayed through the night
Unbearable sorrow
The world on Your mind

[Chorus]
Betrayed by the kiss of a friend, You were taken
By Your own free will
Rejected and disowned by those You came to heal
Stripped of Your clothes, You were mocked, You were beaten
Made a King of fools
A crown of sorrow driven deep into Your brow
Yet You made no sound
[Post-Chorus]
What You went through to love me
I'll never understand
What blows my mind away is
You love me as I am

[Verse 2]
Thеy called for Barabbas
A King for a thief
Parading Your kindness
Likе rags through the streets

[Chorus]
Draped with the weight of the world on Your shoulders
As You climbed that hill
A burden far too great for flesh and bone to bear
You stretched out Your arms as You welcomed those Roman nails
Your body frail
The very hands that shaped the world hung up to bleed Lifted on high, crucified Him who knew no sin
The Nazarene
The Son of Man, the Lamb of God, Emmanuel
Given to die

[Post-Chorus]
What You went through to love me
I'll never understand
What blows my mind away is
You love me as I am
[Bridge]
Precious Redeemer
Lamb that was slain
Hope of the hopeless
Lifter of shame
Friend to the sinner
Grace to my soul
Death is defeated
Now my sin is gone
And I'm blown away
Yeah, I'm blown away

[Chorus]
Crushed by the weight of the world that You came to save
You took my place
Your blood as rivers flowing freely to the ground
Yielding Your Spirit, You let out a holy cry
As You gave Your life
"Oh, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?"
Oh, my Jesus Christ

[Outro]
What You went through to love me
I'll never understand
What blows my mind away is
You'd do it all again
