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!

EARTH'S DARKEST HOUR

Dark the night of sin surrounds Me

Heaven hides His holy face

For the One who made the heavens

Could not save this hell bound race.

Hear the cries of desperation

That reveal sin’s guilt and shame?

Calvary’s cross is heaven’s judgment

For the curse man is to blame.

“O My God! I hang forsaken!

Why must I die all alone?

Can this bitter cup I’m drinking

Through My blood for man atone?”

Satan’s taunts from hell oppress Me

By this awful weight of sin

But the cry “My God forgive them!”

Offers peace that’s born within.

“It is finished!” death is conquered!

As the empty tomb proclaims

Christ the Lord indeed is risen

Praise and magnify His name!

THE PASSOVER LAMB

The picture of a spotless Lamb

Designed before the birth of time

Was central in the heart of God

Before man stepped upon earth’s sod.

Then out of dust a living soul

Was given birth one Eden morn

And standing there beside this man

A bride with beauty took his hand.

But when a tree with tempting fruit

Became the test for Adam’s race

The Serpent’s charm betrayed God’s plan

And that brought death to every man.

In time a bloodstained Lamb appeared

Redemption’s priceless gift was made

The hell each man would have to pay

Was nailed to Calvary’s cross that day.

When faith takes hold His nailed-scared hand

Then all sin’s past is swept away

Real freedom through the risen Lamb

Gives wings of praise at His command

CALVARY'S GUT-WRENCHING CRY!

MY GOD! MY GOD!

Why have you forsaken me?

Why must I hang here all alone?

We walked as one in perfect light 

So why this banishment from sight? 

MY GOD! MY GOD!

The crushing blow of death is near

The weight of sin tears me apart

I am a worm! Hell cries my shame!

The curse I bear is Satan’s blame.

MY GOD! MY GOD!

The mocking throngs surround me

The gaping wounds pour out their blood

So when your wrath for sin is paid 

Redemption's plan will then be 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!
