Upon the cross God's Soldier
Who came to life as Man
To die for us so willingly
This gift was Father's plan

Such love He had within Him
He gave His only Son
To walk on earth for each of us
His sacrifice begun

Crown of Thorns humility
All pain that He endured
So we could all be free of sin
God's Love for us secured

What sacrifice be greater
Than to give your only Child
To die for you with dignity
This Man so meek and mild

Tears upon His Mother's face
That fell upon the earth
To see her Son of Sanctity
Die for our rebirth

Cross a shadow we shall see
Upon our souls each day
Joy of this Life's Miracle
Great Love it did portray.
