Crucify Him!!
When Pilate asked the people Now what shall I do? They shouted crucify, crucify! Let us drag Him through
They mocked, spit and hit As they dragged Him by And pricked His head with thorns Their jeers drowned out His sigh
The battered body of our Lord Fell beneath the cross's weight So they ordered a man name Simon To help Him stand up straight
When they reached Golgotha They took and set the nail In our Saviors hands and feet That's where the hammer fell
The soldiers placed a sign This is Jesus, king of all the Jew They asked to have it taken down Because, they said it wasn't true
With the swiftness of the sword They opened up His side The blood of life poured out Before His tears had dried
He hung upon the cross In agony and pain To bear the sins of others And to shoulder all our shame
Then with His last breath He cried and spoke out loud Oh Father God it's finished Then died with His head bowed
But rose again in glory
Just like the scripture told
About the Holy Spirit
That death could never hold
