I want to know the Man of Sorrows

I want to know the Man of Sorrows

I want to know the Man of Sorrows 

 Know Him in His suffering 

 To love Him more than any other 

 That He might rest with me

 

  Keep me close to the Man of Sorrows 

Take all that hinders me 

All that keeps me from His Presence 

 Till He is everything!

 

Jesus, Man of Sorrows

  Break my heart for what breaks Yours 

Teach me the language of Your longing

  That I might bless You, Lord 

 

 Help me love this Man of Sorrows 

 The way that He first loved me

  In yielding to His Heavenly Father 

 A fragrant offering 

 

And let me comfort the Man of Sorrows 

 Let me sing to ease His pain 

 Let me bind His wounds with garments

  Of worship and of praise 

 

 Jesus, Man of Sorrows 

Break my heart for what breaks Yours

 Teach me the language of Your longing 

 That I might bless You, Lord 

 

 Though high and exalted

  Your heart is still broken 

For the ones You died to save 

 No, You have no weakness

  You are still wounded

  May I be a balm for Your pain

 Let my love be a balm for Your pain

 

Jesus, Man of Sorrows

  Break my heart for what breaks Yours

 Teach me the language of Your longing

  That I might bless You, Lord 

 That I might bless You, Lord
