He's Been There Too

The scene was so familiar outside Jerusalem’s gates
As Stephen faced the angry crowd Jesus heard him say
Words like he had spoken himself not long ago
As he looked on with compassion, he could almost feel the stones
He’s been there too, he felt the pain
He made it through to show the way
Fully surrendered because He knew
Joy was awaiting, he’d been there too
Your suffering has left you with a shattered heart
It seems that there is no one who understands your scars
But Jesus is acquainted with the grief that fills your soul
He is the man of sorrows and He wants you to know
Bridge
Despised and rejected, wounded for our sake
He has gone before us so we will not lose faith

Fully surrendered because He knew… Joy was awaiting… He’s been there too.
