Calvary Songtext
von Rob Gardner

And Jesus bearing his cross went forth into a place called
Calvary, where they crucified him between two thieves
And Pilate wrote a title, and put it on the cross. And
The writing was, Jesus of Nazareth, the King of the Jews
And when Jesus saw his mother by the cross, and John
Standing by, he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold
Thy son! Then to his disciple, Behold thy mother!


O Lord, when is it enough?
My breaking heart, though pierced and torn within
I′ll keep my vigil here with him
Behold the handmaid of the Lord
Be it unto me
Until it is enough

And they that passed by him reviled him, saying, He saved others
Himself he cannot save. If he be the King of Israel, let
Him now come down from the cross, and we will believe him
Then at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice
Saying, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
In that bitterest hour the Father had withdrawn the support
Of his immediate presence, leaving to the Saviour of men the
Glory of complete victory over the forces of sin and death

Then Jesus, knowing that all things were now accomplished, exclaimed
In a loud voice, It is finished: Father, into thy hands I commend
My spirit. Then he bowed his head, and voluntarily gave up his life
