Theme: Forgiveness 

On the cross, He was forsaken,
My Jesus, His life was taken,
All His gains, He counted them loss,
He was forsaken on the cross;

He wailed in pain in the darkness,
Death He faced in its starkness,
For all my sins, He was slain,
In the darkness, He wailed in pain;

He forgave those who nailed Him,
Faced agony up to the brim,
This sinful world He came to save,
Those who nailed Him, He forgave;

He was buried in a new tomb,
Born to die right from the womb,
The sins of the world, He carried,
In a new tomb, He was buried.

He rose again on the third day,
Showing this world, He is the way,
He was victorious o'er pain,
On the third day, He rose again.
