THAT DAY

HE STOOD BEFORE THE GOVERNOR
SON OF THE MOST HIGH
KING OF THE JEWS
HE WOULD NOT DENY

THEY STRIPPED HIM OF HIS CLOTHES
SPIT UPON HIM AN SMOTE HIM ON THE HEAD
AND THEY BEGAN TO MOCK HIM
PREPARING TO LEAVE HIM FOR DEAD

THEY TWISTED A CROWN OF THORNS
AND PUT IT UPON HIS HEAD
NEVER TO STOP AND THINK
OF THE BLOOD THAT WAS ABOUT TO BE SHED

AFTER THEY HAD MOCKED HIM
THEY TOOK THE ROBE AWAY
RETURNED TO HIM HIS RAIMENT
AND LED HIM ON HIS WAY

AND WHEN THEY CAME UNTO THAT PLACE
THAT PLACE WHERE HE WAS TO DIE
THEY OFFERED HIM RELIEF
BUT TO THAT HE DID DENY

AS HE WAS BEING CRUCIFIED
ABOVE HIS HEAD IT READ
JESUS, KING OF JEWS
NOTHING ELSE DID THEY ADD

WITH HIM WERE TWO
TWO THAT DID BELONG
ONE STOOD UP FOR HIM
CLAIMING THIS MAN DID NO WRONG

WHEN THERE WAS DARKNESS
ALL OVER THE LAND
HE CRIED WITH A LOUD VOICE
COMMENDING HIS SPIRIT INTO GOD'S HAND

FOR US HE GAVE HIS LIFE
WHAT MORE IS THERE TO SAY
FOR JESUS DEARLY LOVES US
HE PROVED IT SO THAT DAY
