Behold Jesus

My sin upon His shoulders.
My thorns upon His brow.
The stripes, meant for my horrors,
are taken from me now.
The nails, my due, His torture.
My guilt–alone–He bore.
In innocence He suffered,
my Savior, God, my Lord.
My pardon He accomplished.
In Christ alone I’m free.
My life belongs to Jesus,
the One who died for me.

I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer 
I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the 
life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the 
Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.
Galatians 2:20 ESV

Also: Isaiah 53
