standing trial the arrest was made

before the Sanhedrin

condemned to death the passion stayed

no defense was given

over envy the priests enslaved

and stirred up the crowd

one man freed, the other bound

“crucify,” the mob shouted loud

He was

beaten - mocked - flogged in disdain

crowned - with thorns - spat on in vain

for the sacrifice

the sacrifice

to the hill known as Calvary

the place of the skull

refused the wine that was mixed with gall

facing suffering in full

between two thieves a King did reign

clearly knowing His fate

“forgive them for they do not know”

“know what they do”

He was

beaten - mocked - flogged in disdain

crowned - with thorns - spat on in vain

for the sacrifice

the sacrifice

two thieves on His sides from the left and the right

one whom found belief and the other in despite

“can’t you see this man’s done nothing, oh please remember me”

“to you I say in this time of vice, you will be with Me in Paradise”

wounded hands by the nail

driven through His feet

on that cursed tree

death He did defeat

wounded hands by the nail

driven through His feet

on that cursed tree

death He did defeat

His sacrifice

His sacrifice
