CALVARY'S EXCRUCIATING CRY

MY GOD! MY GOD!

Why have You forsaken Me?

Why must I hang here alone?

We walked before in holy light

So why this banishment from sight?

MY GOD! MY GOD!

The crushing blow of death is near

The weight of sin has torn My heart

I am a worm! Hell cries my shame!

The curse I bear is Satan’s blame.

MY GOD! MY GOD!

The mocking crowd around Me sneer

While gaping wounds pour out My blood

Yet if your wrath for sin is paid

Redemption's plan for man is made.

MY GOD! MY GOD!

The Victor's shout will soon be heard

The serpent’s head will then be crushed

So out of death when I arise

A ransomed Bride will be the prize!
