“My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”

-.-.-.

This cry of anguish

Reverberated through the air

As our savior died

-.-.-.

For in that moment

The Father turned his back

On his own Son

-.-.-.

Unable to look at him

Covered in blood

And our sins

-.-.-.

Because and for us Jesus suffered

He carried all of our wrongs

Offering himself to take the blame

-.-.-.

He was whipped, mocked

Spit upon, and crucified

For all of us

-.-.-.

And for all of us he was resurrected

To bring us hope

And salvation

-.-.-.

“My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”

-.-.-.

To bring hope to all the world

And for the individuals there

That they might join me

In heaven

-.-.-.

“Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?”
