I See My Jesus Crucified — Lyrics
I see my Jesus crucified,
His wounded hands and feet and side,
His sacred flesh all rent and torn,
His bloody crown of sharpest thorn.
Those cruel nails, I drove them in,
Each time I pierced Him with my sin;
That crown of thorns 'twas I who wove,
When I despised His gracious love.

About I See My Jesus Crucified
This traditional English hymn explores the profound imagery of the crucified Christ. The text offers a deeply personal reflection on sin and repentance, as the singer acknowledges their role in Jesus' suffering. It moves from a vivid depiction of the wounds to a heartfelt expression of contrition, symbolized by washing the feet with tears. The SATB arrangement allows for a rich harmonic setting of this devotional text, emphasizing the singer's commitment to keeping the image of the crucified Jesus ever present in their heart.
