Oh Remember the Cross

Page history last edited by PBworks 18 years, 2 months ago

To be sung to the tune of Jaques Brel's 'Amsterdam'

 

Oh remember the cross, one of many it's true

An atrocity only the Romans would do

Just as painful and cruel as their minds could devise

Fit for those their supporters were sure to despise

At the foot of the cross watching hours of pain

There the friends of the victim were urged to remain

'Till the struggles would end as they all knew they would

Such an evil thing surely could never be good

 

Oh remember the cross, that one cross of renown

Where the heir of creation was beaten and bound

As the prophets foretold and as Jesus had taught

With the blood of the sinless salvation was bought

I accept it by faith for I can't understand

How the sins of all nations were heaped on one man

And he prayed for his oppressors and cried "It is done"

And the captain declared "This was surely God's son"

 

Oh remember the cross, and the thieves on each side

As in agony each was preparing to die

And the one offered taunts "Save us all if you can"

While the other replied "Don't you fear God nor man?

You are guilty as I, but this man should be free

If you are who you say, Lord, will you pray for me?"

And by fear one was lost and by love one was saved

Oh remember those thieves and the choices they made

 

Oh remember the cross! Oh remember the cross!
