Truly

I've seen men die A thousand times before This man, He was different He seemed to understand His call I've heard them cry A broken fearful man But this guy, He was different It was like He was in command And then suddenly the hour came He chose to yield His life There were thunderclaps and earthquakes and the day turned into night! Truly this man is the Son of God He laid his life down for His friends This is the love that knows no end Truly this man, is a man of love and in this love No evil can abide, yielded His life and then He died I said truly this man is the Son of God One victim filled with hate Seemed to curse Him from the start He said get us off this cross if are who you claim you are Another man rebuked him He didn't blame the Christ And as Jesus said, "Today You will be with me in Paradise!" And then suddenly when the hour came He looked at me with love And he cried aloud, "Forgive them, Father, they don't know what they've done!"
