UPON THE CROSS OUR SAVIOUR HUNG
HIS FLESH WAS BATTERED, BRUISED AND TORN
HIS HEAD HUNG LOW UPON HIS CHEST
HIS LOVE FOR US WITHSTOOD THE TEST
THE VEIL IS RENT, THE LAMB APPLIED
IT IS FINISH! WAS HIS FINAL CRY
THE CROWN OF THORNS IT PIERCED HIS BROW
THE NAILS PIERCED HIS HANDS AND FEET
BLOOD AND WATER FLOWED FROM HIS SIDES
SALVATION AND FREEDOM RELEASED
THE VEIL IS RENT, THE LAMB APPLIED
IT IS FINISH! WAS HIS FINAL CRY
THE BLOOD RAN FREE UNTO THE GROUND
SIN CONDEMNED, THE BATTLE WON
THE EARTH CRIED OUT, THE HEAVENS ROARED
DEATH DEFEATED EVERMORE!
THE VEIL IS RENT, THE LAMB APPLIED
IT IS FINISH! WAS HIS FINAL CRY
The gospel according to St John 19
Matthew 27 vs 51
