Your body strung out
Bruised and broken
Beyond human repair.
Some saw and wept
Unable to save their saviour,
Some saw and scoffed
The victory was theirs
As you hung on the cross.
Man's darkest hour
Made possible
Through the evil
In our own hands.
What we called weak
God proclaimed glorious,
No greater love
Has man ever known.
To life you rose
Death's sting
Was dealt it's final blow.
Your body lay in it's tomb
No more than three days.
Some saw and believed
Your scarred body
A reminder of the life
You gave for us.
Father,
Open our eyes
To your wondrous Love.
