I
ON THE CROSS AS THEY HUNG HIM SHAME WAS FORSAKEN
AS THEY DROVE THE NAILS IN HIS HANDS AND FEET.
AS DEATH CLOSED HIS EYES HIS CRIES WENT TO HEAVEN
OH FATHER FORGIVE THEM THEY HEARD HIM SPEAK.
II
IN THE TOMB HE WAS LAID BUT DEATH COULDN'T HURT HIM
HE WAS GOD'S ONLY SON IN THIS WORLD BELOW.
ON THE CROSS HE WAS GIVEN THE PLAN OF SALVATION
OH I WANT TO THANK JESUS FOR HIS COMING AGAIN.
CHORUS
ONE MORNING PAST DAYBREAK AS THE CROWD SLOWLY GATHERED
LIKE A SHEEP HE WAS HUMBLE TO HIS FATHER'S OWN WILL.
SO SAD WAS HIS FACE THAT THE BIRDS HUSHED THEIR SINGING
THEY WERE WALKING MY LORD UP CALVARY'S HILL.
