The Cry From The Cross

One morning in Jerusalem about the break of dawn
A great trial was in session, they tried our blessed Lord
They scorned Him and they mocked Him, they made Him carry the cross
From top of Calvary mountain they crucified my Lord

Oh the cry (Jesus cried) from the cross
Forgive them blessed Father
He died upon the cross
Oh the cry (Jesus cried) from the cross
The Son of God was dying to save the world from lost

Saint Peter he denied Him at that awful trial that night
He said he never knew Him, it was an awful sight
He looked upon Saint Peter with eyes of perfect love
Saint Peter’s heart was broken, he prayed to God above

Oh the cry (Jesus cried) from the cross
Forgive them blessed Father
He died upon the cross
Oh the cry (Jesus cried) from the cross
The Son of God was dying to save the world from lost

Crying Father it is finished, then He bowed His head and died
The world was left in darkness the graves were open wide
An earthquake shook Jerusalem the dead walked into town
The multitudes were frightened, God’s wrath came pouring down

Oh the cry (Jesus cried) from the cross
Forgive them blessed Father
He died upon the cross
Oh the cry (Jesus cried) from the cross
The Son of God was dying to save the world from lost
