Would You Take the Place of This Man?

This Man
by Jeremy Camp

In only a moment Truth was seen -

Revealed this mystery:
The crown that showed no dignity He wore.
And the King was placed

For all the world to show disgrace,

But only beauty flowed from this place.

Would you take the place of this man?
Would you take the nails from His hands ?
Would you take the place of this man?
Would you take the nails from His hands?

He held the weight of impurity -
The Father would not see.
The reasons had finally come to be to show

The depth of His grace -

Flowed with every sin erased.

He knew that this was why He came!

Would you take the place of this man?
Would you take the nails from His hands?
Would you take the place of this man?
Would you take the nails from His hands?

And we just don't know -

The blood and water flowed,

And in it all He shows

Just how much He cares.
And the veil was torn

So we could have this open door,

And all these things have finally been complete!

Would you take the place of this man?
Would you take the nails from His hands?
Would you take the place of this man?
Would you take the nails from His hands?
From His hands
From His hands
From His hands
From His hands
From His hands
