The Crucifixion
The Word was with God and the Word was God
The “Book of John” bares witness to the same
The maker of all things made that which was made
There in the beginning before the foundation was laid
The giver of light in the firmament of space
God’s divine light offers salvation, in Amazing Grace
Creating heavenly bodies orbiting a cosmic void of time
Jesus gave his life for the sins of man, he is the living vine
Crucified on the cross and his blood stained the land
The Christ, gave his life the greatest gift to man
The serpent, bruised his heel and he was buried in the grave He crushed the head of the snake, the debt of sin was paid
A cross stands alone and there’s not a body in the tomb
The curtain splits down the middle and the darken day resumed
Clouds blackened the sky and sin lost its deadly sway
The quake’s mighty trimmers ceased and silently passed away

Jesus paid it all, his gift so all can be saved
