Forty days with the desert sun
Beating on His head
The Devil saying if you're His Son, then
Change these stones to bread
But He didn't yield to the strong temptation
Though His flesh was weak
Stood the test, bravely took each blow, and
Turned the other cheek
Then He stood in humble silence
At the judgement hall
"In this man", Pilate said, "I
Find no fault at all"
But still he had the soldiers beat Him
Then he washed his hands
To the angry mob he cried out
"Now behold the man"
(He took it like a man)
Took the pain and the cruel suffering
Shame that I deserved
Gave his back to the soldiers whip and
Never spoke a word
(He took it like a man)
With all the power of Heaven and Earth
Awaiting His command
Took the cross, walked to Calvary's mountain
And took it like a man
Sometimes you may find it
Hard to comprehend
Just why God would send His Son to
Be like mortal men
But all the grief and pain we suffer
Jesus understands
And He has the scars to prove that
He took it like a man
(He took it like a man)
Took the pain and the cruel suffering
Shame that I deserved
Gave his back to the soldiers whip and
Never spoke a word
(He took it like a man)
With all the power of Heaven and Earth
Awaiting His command
Took the cross, walked to Calvary's mountain
And took it like a man
Took the cross, walked to Calvary's mountain
And took it like a man
