Jesus suffers upon the cross The women wail at such a loss The saviour of humanity upon a ghastly erection On the third day comes the resurrection
By Jewish tradition, Pontius Pilot was allowed To free a prisoner confirmed by the crowd “Barabus” they cried, Pilot washed his hands and sealed his fate Only four days before he was adored at the gate
He rode into Jerusalem upon an Ass Palm leaves were laid by the crowd en masse One man picked up his bed, Lazarus rose from the dead With two fishes and five loaves of bread, five thousand were fed
Miracles occurred every day Soon would be the time to pay He had done the Lord’s beckoning At hand was the day of reckoning
At the last supper, thirteen in attendance One left early to rid his dependence For thirty pieces of silver, Judas betrayed And Peter thrice denied, before the cock’s dawn raid
The next day brought the trial and tribulations He bore the cross through the fourteen stations At eleven he was nailed to the cross The women wail at such a loss
