took place so long ago
There was no joy, no glory seen,
just One we did not know
His screams and cries brought people out
to watch Him in His need
Some laughed, some cried, some spit on Him
Some begged to have Him freed
Who was this Man, what had He done?
Why were they cruel and savage?
He claimed His love had brought Him there
If so, why was He ravaged?
They nailed Him to a cross that day
They gambled for his clothes
They cried “All Hail you King of Jews,”
not seeing the fate He chose
At last, He died that fateful day
Asking God for their forgiveness
The sky turned black, the curtain tore
By then, few were left to witness
Those who loved Him ran and hid
They feared they’d lose their heads
They could not begin to understand
That this man would not stay dead
Day three then came, the sun shone bright
They cried “He’s left His grave!”
This Man, this Jesus, this Lord of Lords
Our souls that day He saved
For Jesus Christ, in one painful walk
brought man and God together
He is Lord, and from death He lives
Praise God, I'm His forever!
