“Father forgive them”
Jesus prays
for those who pierce His hands;
And when the cross-bound thief believes
Paradise began;
His mother standing
“Beloved woman”
Entrusted to His friend;
“My God, My God”
Forsaken now
Made sin for sin to end;
“I thirst,” He cries
Prophetic wine
Scripture now fulfilled;
All work is done
Finished complete
Just as His Father willed;
Spirit entrusted to hands above
Breath goes out is gone
A seed is planted in the tomb,
’til comes the third day’s dawn
