My Savior carried the cross
Up the rocky hill
A crown of thorns piercing His brow
Determined to do His Father's will
Up the rocky hill
A crown of thorns piercing His brow
Determined to do His Father's will
Time after time to His knees He fell
His back bloodied and torn by the whip
But the Savior continued His torturous trek
Still carrying the cross in His grip
His back bloodied and torn by the whip
But the Savior continued His torturous trek
Still carrying the cross in His grip
The skies darkened and the angels cried
Torrents of rain did fall
The cross was raised with Christ thereon
He had given to us His all
Torrents of rain did fall
The cross was raised with Christ thereon
He had given to us His all
"Is all hope lost?", Christ's followers asked
As our Savior bowed His head
"Not so" thundered Almighty God
"For all, My Son's blood was shed"
As our Savior bowed His head
"Not so" thundered Almighty God
"For all, My Son's blood was shed"
Our Savior did not die.
He lives forever
His love is eternally ours
This love no power can sever
He lives forever
His love is eternally ours
This love no power can sever
