The hymn texts that are woven together in this song by means of antiphonal singing and mixed choir underline the deep emotion that resounds here. 'How can it be?' poses logical questions about the suffering of Jesus. How can the Son of God endure this? The text not only resonates with the impression of seeing the stripes of Jesus, but also the moment that He is abandoned by God; the Son of Man, betrayed by those for whom He came. This song is considered one of the most penetrating compositions around Good Friday.
