Ten Thousand Angels
by Alicia Williamson

Album: There Is A Hope

They bound the hands of Jesus
In the garden where he prayed
They led Him through the streets in shame
They spat upon the Savior
So pure and free from sin
They said, "Crucify Him!" He's to blame"

Upon his precious head
They placed a crown of thorns
They laughed and said, "Behold your king!"
They struck Him and they cursed Him
Lord, they mocked Your Holy Name
All alone, He suffered everything

He could have called ten thousand angels
To destroy the world and set Him free
He could have called ten thousand angels
But He died alone for you and me

When they nailed Him to the cross
His mother stood nearby
He said, "Woman, behold your son!"
Then He cried, "I thirst for water,"
But, of course, they gave Him none
Oh, the sinful work of man was done

To the howling mob He yielded
And He did not for mercy cry
The cross of shame He took alone
But when He said, "It is finished"
He gave Himself to die
Salvation's wondrous work was done

He could have called ten thousand angels
To destroy the world and set Him free
He could have called ten million angels
But He died all alone for you and me
