It happened on a Friday Round about nine, When He who was Divine Bore sin-yours and mine- And was hung upon a wooden cross His hands and feet nailed tight Yet none who knew His silent plight. That within all His power and His might Was cruxified -to bring the light- Unjustly hung He out in sight
The one known as the King of the Jews
From the time of noon Up until three DarkneSs covered the sky entirely, And with the outcry of these words: "Eli Eli Lema sabagtani" My God,why have Thoust forsaken me He drew His last breath And died-for all to See
The one known as the King of the Jews
The Temple curtain spliT in two As He the King of the Jews died so that We could enter In Gods sight. Forever after He paid the price For me and you:
The one known as the King of the Jews
And after He had left this mortal plane They broke not His bones Left Him just the same, And they laid Him to rest In a TomB -in a cave His life been given His DesTiny remained- As the Saviour to all mankind The dead and the brave. He had come to earth Not to condemN-but to save:
The one known as the King -became the Slave. He who bore no Sin-carried ours Just so that we could be saved From the wrath of the Almighty He showed us the light, Yet died unjustly To AnSwer our plighT
The one known as Jesus the Christ
But on the Sunday morning He had risen triumphantly, Over Death He had won Yes GodS only Son- Who one day will return To rule up Highly On the right hand side Of God-Lord Almighty
Thus remember the FridAy Through till the Sunday, Never again will Life stay the same For He called us each upon the name, To teach and obey His words left behind And to love all of all mankind. For He died once ago a very long time So that tHose who believe in Him Find redemption ,salvation From judgement and condEmnation.
