You turned the other cheek
When they hit you
You turned the other cheek
When they turned away
You turned the other cheek
When Your back bled
And Your head wore
A crown of tangled thorns

But when he kissed you
You stood and looked
Your friend in the face
You never turned away

You turned the other cheek
When they spat on You
You turned the other cheek
When they cursed Your name
You turned the other cheek
When they drove the nails
That pierced Your hands
As You prayed for them

But when he kissed you
You stood and looked
Your friend in the face
You never turned away

I have been the one
That kissed You that day
And the one that denied
As the roaster crowed
And You never turned away
You stood and looked
Your friend in the face
And You never turned away
