Jesus On The Cross

It was early in the springtime

when flowers begin to bud,

that Jesus was nailed to the cross

and there He shed His blood.

Jesus could have called the angels

to keep him safe and well,

but He chose the cross and death

and defeated Death and Hell.

Jesus suffered though it all that day

for sinners like you and me,

so that we can someday be with Him

far beyond the raging sea.

Then He spent three days in the tomb

where evil likes to romp and roam,

so by Him we are saved from sin

and can join Him at our heavenly home.

Now let us praise and thank Him

with worship from our hearts,

for what He did on earth that day

so we could have brand-new starts.
