A cold day arose Over a cross of gold Never was one so sublime Throughout all knowledge of our history & time But for only this one slice of a day Would be it allowed to hold full sway Over the Son of God
Even through all our jeers & our taunts His holy purpose we could never daunt Bearing all our hatred, Toward heaven he raised A face so bloodied & so gaunt
But even then, Was our Lord able back to win from the depths of dark satan's clutches The glory of our precious souls So that at last & in the end We an infinity could live within The brightness of His Holy Glow!
