Jesus hung on that old cross

To pay for sin's final cost.

He was the perfect sacrifice

He gave Himself to pay the price.

The agony was real for Him

When He died way back then.

Just three nails held Him there

But He chose that awful despair.

It was because He loved us so

That to the cross He did go.

Mary watched her beloved Son

While the sacrifice was done.

That mother's heart was torn

Thinking of when He was born.

There is a happy ending to this story

Jesus arose from the gave and went to glory!
