Crucify Him!
Crucify Him!
Crucify Him!
Crucify Him!
Father forgive them they know not what they do
Came the cry from the king, the sign said king of the Jew
Mockery and hate arose from the crowd
Jeers and cries spoken out loud
The crowd that followed him and once loved him dear
Now yelled altogether “Crucify Him” in unified cheer
The guards gave no care as to who this man was
Beating him, prodding him, mocking, gave them an adrenaline buzz
Gambling his clothes off, for all man to see
With the weight of the world Christ clung naked on the tree
“You could make the lame walk and bring the dead to life
Prove you are king remove yourself from this strife.”
The guards continued to laugh, spat, and in his face loudly cursed
Claiming, of the three criminals, Jesus was the worst
His bodily flesh torn open revealing his bone
Pain filled his eyes where love once clearly shone
Blood dripped from his head and pooled at his feet
But this Jesus loved too much to let sin defeat
Taking on sin as his own, the father turned away
And for the first time Jesus, stood a lone that day
“Father, Father! Why have you left me?”
None understood this was the only way we could be free
Clouds covered the sky, as the crowd settled down
Jesus whispered his final audible sound
“It is finished……”
