Meaning:

1.
Jesus, my Lord, embodiment of love,
I honor and praise You with all my heart.
You loved me so deeply and humbled Yourself
Even to the cross, though I did nothing to deserve it.
I will praise You, I will praise You,
O Lord and Giver of Life, forever.

2.
Did You wear a crown of thorns?
Were You mocked and despised?
Did You endure such suffering and wounds
To set a sinner like me free?

3.
Even as the nails were driven
Through Your hands,
You remembered a helpless sinner like me.
Oh, what an amazing and incomprehensible love!

4.
There is no love like this anywhere on earth,
O Savior!
You loved me so much
That You shed Your blood
And died in my place.

5.
O Lord, the suffering and punishment You endured
Are beyond anything words can describe.
I bow before You with reverence,
And humbly kiss Your holy feet.
