They smote you upon the cheek that awful day
and against you those wicked men had their way.
Little did the realise for they were unaware
that You were the Judge of Israel standing there.
They led You up the hill to a place called Calvary
and nailed You upon a cross to die in agony.
There on Your back the punishment You bore
“For the wages of sin is death, ” was the Law.
There, “Because the Lamb of God has died”
“the price for sin was paid and the Law was satisfied.
For You was stricken and smitten of Your God
when You was struck upon the cheek by His rod.
