Cry From the Cross Songtext
von Marley’s Ghost

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 a cross
On top of Calvary Mountain they crucified my Lord

Oh the cry oh He 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 loss


Saint Peter he denied Him at the 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 oh He cried from the cross
Forgive them blessed Father He died upon the cross
Oh He cried Jesus cried from the cross
The Son of God was dying to save the world from loss

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


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