Upon a wooden cross Sealed by a rusty nail The savior of mankind His hands and feet impaled While sinners mocked and jeered A lesson He did give Choosing to die this way So all of us could live He said if we repent And seek Him as the way Heβd prepare a place for us To join him one fine day He died to save us all Yet some denounce His name They banned Him from our schools And treat him with disdain For those that keep the faith Your worship wonβt be lost He said so on that night Upon that wooden cross.
