Do the Math

1 man 1 cross 1 time to save the lost 1 cross 3 nails 4-given of anything that ails 3 parts of a whole 7 things made it complete 6 words Father Why Have You Forsaken Me 12 men 1 cheats and brings his life to an end 11 men 1 decieves by denying him 1 man 2 hands heart heavy and a body so still 2 men 4 hands placed the cross on the hill 8 words over his dome and spikes all in his hair 2 eyes lookin down he knew his life wasnt fair 3 nails through his veins blood showing itself 1 soldier laughed if God and angels are real then tell them to help 1 tear from 1 eye his head looked up to 1 sky with 1 blade 1 made it possible to live and not die 2 men on each side 1 good humbles himself inside 1 bad mocked with shame at 1 mans soul 1 man on the cross for 1 ultimate goal 1 head droped to 1 chest and gave up 1 life to 1 day come back and take 1 church as a wife
