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
