On the hill Golgotha there, planted, was a tree, Soaking up a Man's life blood The blood that made us free. It was planted by the Man In the hill, a wooden stake He had to drag it halfway up His life it would then take. A horror to be witnessed By a roaring crowd Round "The Skull" they cursed the man Their hatred was his shroud. But the man said nothing Though everything He heard. He heard all the cursing But he said not a word. He laid down his arms and legs Quietly on the cross He fully knew all pain He'd feel Aware of the full cost. A crown of thorns upon His head Blood and sweat were in His eyes He drank vinegar and gall While he heard the cursing cries. There were two other men on trees Who went to die up there One met the Man in Paradise The other met despair. The Man beat Satan on that day Beat him at his game! He tore the Veil twixt us and God Jesus was His name. Christ died that you and I might live Yes, He died for you and me! He laid down his life that day On "The Skull" and the tree.

A Skull and a Tree
On the hill Golgotha there, planted, was a tree, Soaking up a Man's life blood The blood that made us free. It was planted by the Man In the hill, a wooden stake He had to drag it halfway up His life it would then take. A horror to be witnessed By a roaring crowd Round "The Skull" they cursed the man Their hatred was his shroud. But the man said nothing Though everything He heard. He heard all the cursing But he said not a word. He laid down his arms and legs Quietly on the cross He fully knew all pain He'd feel Aware of the full cost. A crown of thorns upon His head Blood and sweat were in His eyes He drank vinegar and gall While he heard the cursing cries. There were two other men on trees Who went to die up there One met the Man in Paradise The other met despair. The Man beat Satan on that day Beat him at his game! He tore the Veil twixt us and God Jesus was His name. Christ died that you and I might live Yes, He died for you and me! He laid down his life that day On "The Skull" and the tree.
