~ Song ~ (To the melody "Fields of Athenry")

Verse 1:

In Jerusalem one day
I heard a mad throng calling,
"Crucify the man called Jesus Christ!"

So they took him away,
Scourged Him, mocked His holy name,
They laughed, and smote and left my Lord in shame.

Lo hangs my Lord upon a cross,
Midst wicked men, though innocent he was.
Why would Jesus die for me?
Suffer pain for a sinner life me?
I shall never understand the love of God.

Verse 2:
By a lonely silent tomb, I saw two women coming,
But lo the great stone was rolled away!
And the angel of the Lord,
Said "Fear not, He is here no more,
He is risen from the grave just as He said!"

Go, tell everyone that you may meet,
That Jesus Christ is risen from the dead!
Satan thought he had won the war,
But Christ arose to sleep no more.
He had died the perfect sacrifice for sin!

Verse 3:
One day in Galilee, upon a mountain high,
Jesus met with His disciples there,
But when they saw some would not believe,
How He lived they could not perceive,
Til He showed the marks upon His hands and feet.

Oh ye of little faith, when will you see!
I leave for you a Comforter and Guide.
For whoever will believe will see me when this world you leave!
