    Behind The Song: Hillsong UNITED Shares The Heart Behind Their Song “Blown Away”

    By Abby Young | Christian News | 0 comment | 11 May, 2022 | 4

    This week’s featured song story comes to us from Hillsong UNITED. We’re excited to share with you the story behind their song “Blown Away.”

    “I started thinking about Gethsemane through the cross & just that journey that Jesus walked. We really wanted to paint a picture of that, taking everything we read in the Bible and put it into a song so people feel like they’re walking that journey with Him. It’s amazing what a word can do to stir up that in your head and connect those lyrics to your spirit.“   –Matt Crocker (Hillsong UNITED)

    Click on the video below to hear Matt of Hillsong UNITED share the story. Scroll down to listen and read the full lyrics of the song.

    From the album Are We There Yet?

    “Blown Away” Lyrics

    VERSE 1:
    Oh troubled Messiah
    You prayed through the night
    Unbearable sorrow
    The world on Your mind

    CHORUS 1:
    Betrayed by the kiss of a friend
    You were taken
    By Your own free will
    Rejected and disowned
    By those You came to heal
    Stripped of Your clothes
    You were mocked
    You were beaten
    Made a King of fools
    A crown of sorrow
    Driven deep into Your brow
    Yet You made no sound

    POST-CHORUS 1:
    What You went through to love me
    I’ll never understand
    What blows my mind away is
    You love me as I am

    VERSE 2:
    They called for Barabbas
    A King for a thief
    Parading Your kindness
    Like rags through the streets

    CHORUS 2:
    Draped with the weight of the world
    On Your shoulders
    As You climbed that hill
    A burden far too great
    For flesh and bone to bear
    You stretched out Your arms
    As You welcomed those
    Roman nails
    Your body frail
    The very hands that shaped the world
    Hung up to bleed
    Lifted on high crucified
    Him who knew no sin
    The Nazarene
    The Son of Man
    The Lamb of God
    Emmanuel Given to die

    POST-CHORUS 2:
    What You went through to love me
    I’ll never understand
    What blows my mind away is
    You love me as I am

    BRIDGE:
    Precious Redeemer
    Lamb that was slain
    Hope for the hopeless
    Lifter of shame
    Friend to the sinner
    Grace to my soul
    Death is defeated
    Now my sin is gone
    And I’m blown away
    Yeah I’m blown away

    CHORUS 3:
    Crushed by the weight of the world
    That You came to save
    You took my place
    Your blood as rivers flowing
    Freely to the ground
    Yielding Your spirit
    You let out a holy cry
    As You gave
    Your life
    Oh Eloi Eloi lama sabachthani
    Oh my Jesus Christ

    POST-CHORUS 3:
    What You went through to love me
    I’ll never understand
    What blows my mind away is
    You’d do it all again
