Who Better Than Jesus

from Lamentation by Natalie Kendel

/

lyrics

(Isaiah 53:3)

I have sat down in the dirt of my anguish,
felt the grip of despair 'round my neck.
Others frown at the ash, my ripped clothing;
their discomfort has turned their care to dread.

So loneliness only adds to the load I bear.

Man of Sorrows, my Lord,
you too know this load,
and you see me.
Everything that this world breaks
you've felt upon your own skin.
Who better than Jesus to understand?

I have walked with the world's weight on my shoulders
and you know for you carried it on yours.
Others turn when they come to see my suffering,
but your eyes never fall from who is yours.

This poison burns as I drink it down -
you know - you drained the cup.

Man of Sorrows, my Lord,
you too know this road,
and you see me.
Everything that this world breaks
you've felt upon your own skin.
Who better than Jesus to understand?

When friends run scared,
and the darkness closes in...

Man of Sorrows - my joy!
you too know this load,
and you see me.
Everything that this world breaks
you've felt upon your own skin.
Who better than Jesus to understand?

Everything that this world breaks
you've felt upon your own skin.
Who better than Jesus to understand?
Who better than Jesus to understand.
