[Verse 1]
He could have killed us where we stood
The Lion's wrath will not be tamed
Mighty jaws stayed shut
He fought through gritted teeth and bleeding fangs
[Chorus 1]
Lion Man of Judah, let Your wrath pass over me
Lion Man of Judah, will You climb upon that tree?
[Verse 2]
Bruised and torn, He clawed, He scraped
He fiercely pushed for Calvary
And this Man, the Beast
He climbed the hill and roared in agony
[Chorus 1]
Lion Man of Judah, let Your wrath pass over me
Lion Man of Judah, will You climb upon that tree?
[Post-Chorus]
And be crushed for the sins that I have transgressed
Torn limb from limb, now stricken, oppressed
[Chorus 2]
Lion Man of Judah, will You climb upon that tree
Lion Man of Judah, will You die, die for me?
[Bridge 1]
Like a lamb before His shearers
Oh, He opened not His mouth
Like a Lion, if He had then we would all have been devoured
Like a man, He tasted death
He drank destruction to the dregs
Like a king, His will advanced
He marched on like the prophets said
[Chorus 1]
Lion Man of Judah, let Your wrath pass over me
Lion Man of Judah, will You climb upon that tree?
[Post-Chorus]
And be crushed for the sins that I have transgressed
Torn limb from limb, now stricken, oppressed
[Chorus 2]
Lion Man of Judah will You climb upon that tree
Lion Man of Judah will You die, die for me?
[Bridge 2]
Weep no more, the wrath is on the tree
Weep no more, there's no more left for me
Weep no more, the wrath is on the tree
Weep no more, there's no more left for me
