Rae Peltier - Thirty-nine Lyrics

Thirty-nine
They bound His hands, they tore His skin
For every lash, He bore our sin
The whip comes down, the flesh is torn
Each strike a weight of sin He's borne
The crowd screams, the blood runs red
The Lamb of God for us has bled
They curse His name, they mock His crown
But through it all, He doesn't bow down
Thirty-nine lashes, tearing through grace
Thirty-nine reasons, He took my place
Each stripe He bore, my debt to erase
Thirty-nine lashes, love on His face
One! He stands for the sinner's shame
Two! He takes the weight of all my blame
Three! The flesh gives way, the pain pours in
Four! Redemption begins
Five!
Six!
Seven! They sneer, Where is your God now
Eight! Blood falls from His thorn-crowned brow
Nine! The sins of many, He takes alone
Ten! For all the times we cast the stone
Eleven! Twelve! Thirteen! Fourteen!
Fifteen! Sixteen! Seventeen! Eighteen!
Nineteen! Twenty!
Twenty-one! Twenty-two! Twenty-three! Twenty-four!
Twenty-five! Twenty-six! Twenty-seven! Twenty-eight!
Twenty-nine! Thirty! Thirty-one! Thirty-two!
Thirty-three! Thirty-four! Thirty-five! Thirty-six!
Thirty-seven! Thirty-eight!
The final blows tear through the air
(Screams) Thirty-nine
Thirty-nine lashes, tearing through grace
Thirty-nine reasons, He took my place
Each stripe He bore, my debt to erase
Thirty-nine lashes, love on His face
Thank you Jesus for loving me
