#### CRY FROM THE CROSS

I

ONE MORNING IN JERUSALEM ABOUT THE BREAK OF DAWN.
A GREAT TRIAL WAS IN SESSION THEY TRIED OUR BLESSED LORD.
THEY SCORNED HIM AND THEY MOCKED HIM THEY MADE HIM CARRY THE CROSS.
ON TOP OF CALVARY'S MOUNTAIN THEY CRUCIFIED MY LORD.

CHORUS

OH THE CRY FROM THE CROSS.
JESUS CRIED

FORGIVE THEM BLESSED FATHER HE DIED UPON THE CROSS.
OH THE CRY FROM THE CROSS.
JESUS CRIED
THE SON OF GOD WAS DYING, TO SAVE THE WORLD FROM LOST.

II

ST. PETER HE DENIED HIM AT THE AWFUL TRIAL THAT NIGHT.
HE SAID HE NEVER KNEW HIM IT WAS AN AWFUL SIGHT.
HE LOOKED UPON ST. PETER OF EYES OF PERFECT LOVE.
ST. PETER HEART WAS BROKEN HE PRAYED TO GOD ABOVE.

III

CRYING FATHER IT IS FINISHED THEN HE BOWED HIS HEAD AND HE DIED.
THEN THE WORLD WAS LEFT IN DARKNESS THE GRAVES WERE OPENED WIDE.
AN EARTHQUAKE SHOOK JERUSALEM THE DEAD WALKED INTO TOWN.
THE MULTITUDE WAS FRIGHTENED GOD'S WRATH CAME POURING DOWN.
