Verse 1

On the hill of our redemption

Jesus, You were lifted high

Bearing all the weight of sorrow

Love was poured out for our lives

You were silent in the suffering

Yet Your mercy filled that place

And the hands that shaped creation

Opened wide to give us grace

Chorus

Wounded for us

Jesus, Lamb of God

Wounded for us

Given for love

There we found our peace and pardon

Wounded for us

Verse 2

Every sin was laid upon You

Every debt was fully known

And the wrath that stood against us

You endured for us alone

By Your stripes the lost are welcomed

By Your cross the weak draw near

Now the broken find their healing

Now the bound are freed from fear

Chorus

Wounded for us

Jesus, Lamb of God

Wounded for us

Given for love

There we found our peace and pardon

Wounded for us

Outro

Wounded for us

The heart behind the song

A song for
the cross.

Wounded for Us exists to give listeners and gathered worshippers a clear way into the cross. A scene-setting opener that begins the EP in reverent gratitude for the suffering and love of Christ.

Explore the meaning

At its heart, the song treats the cross as something to be received before it is performed. The focus is not on musical display, but on helping attention turn towards Jesus with language that feels plain, prayerful and singable.

The title gives the song its centre of gravity. Around that centre, the words and movement of the song hold gratitude, reverence and assurance, making room for personal devotion and shared congregational response.

For listening and worship

For everyday listening, the song offers worship language for moments when the cross needs to be remembered and sung, not merely understood.

For churches and worship leaders, it is shaped as an opening worship song: clear in focus, connected to the wider EP, and intended to serve gathered voices as well as personal prayer.
