In Just 3 Days

It was during the time of the feast
Yea Jesus was around
But the love we have for him today was only shared by a few 
The high priest didn't want anything to do with the crime that would save the lives of the few and the ones that came after the blood was shed 
Betrayed by one of his own with a kiss on the cheek
Denied three times by the one with all the love for him
This is the story set up for Jesus’ last days that would go on record to save the world
He was brought to the high priest accused of many things
Not a word he said because of what he knew
He knew he would die a death that would save you and me
By a choice that the priest couldn't make himself
So he left the choice for the people of the world who chose to let a murderer go free
As they shouted the words "Crucify him"
They placed a crown of thorns on his head and made him carry his own cross to his death
They screamed and shouted  words at him along his way to Calvary 
Only one man was asked to help him along his way
Once he reached Calvary they nailed his hands and feet to the cross
He drank from a cup that consisted of wine and myrrh 
Myrrh the very same gift he was given at birth
Between the hours of noon and three the land became dark and soon they would see
As Jesus called to his father and asked for forgiveness
The words "forgive them father for they know not what they do" came from his mouth
At the foot of the cross his mother was there too
As she watch her first born die for the same people that nailed him for his death
As Jesus took his last breath he spoke the words "it is finish" and light came back to the land
They pierced his side and blood was shed
They took his body and placed it in a tomb
And what Jesus said in the word was about to come to true
Because early on the third day Jesus arose from the dead
And the stone was rolled away
When the ladies went with sweet spices to anoint the anointed one
To their surprise they found an empty tomb 
Then began to spread the word that our savior lives
Now we have the grace and love that stood the test of time
