[Verse 1]
The Father made the sinless Son
To be our very sin,
The verse is plain in Paul's own hand,
The wrath was laid on Him.

[Verse 2]
He bore the shame His people earned,
He bore their grief and groan,
He bore the wrath of God Almighty,
And bore it all alone.

[Verse 3]
But here we hold the careful line,
And we must hold it still:
He bore the cost of sin in full,
He never bore the will.

[Verse 4]
He bore the wrath, He did not rage,
He bore the shame, not pride,
His will stayed bowed before the Lord
Until the day He died.

[Verse 5]
And so we sing the gospel plain,
With care for what we say:
He bore the wrath, He did not bear
The will that turns away.

[Verse 6]
And though they call it heresy,
And lay their measure down,
The Book itself will speak the truth,
And keep us safe and sound.
