Oh God who did suffer

Oh God who did suffer
Such agonizing pain
Not only in your Body
But mind and spirit to gain
Hope for the lost
You paid the cost
For the joy set before you 
You endured the cross 

Oh God who did suffer 
Lift up the lowly 
Breathe life into us
Oh come Spirit Holy
For without you to guide 
What would be our end
Oh the everlasting punishment 
That torments but never mends 

Oh God who did suffer
For all the world whole
I join my tears to yours
To weep for every soul
That's going the wrong direction 
From you and not toward
Oh drag them in your net
Oh most merciful Holy Lord

Oh God your justice is merciful 
Your mercy is just and true 
Your love cannot fail
What you command it to do
And yet man is free
To love or walk away 
What more than your blood can plead
If men never want with you to stay
