There's something you gotta see, journey with me
It's approximately 30 A.D
In the land of Israel- the city of Jerusalem
But on the outside there's screams and loud cries
Through faith, this scene can be seen without eyes
The mean shout lies and seem to sound wise
As we inch through the crowd, we need to be cautious
A Roman execution, men on three crosses
But all the focus is on the one in the center
The gate closes behind you- no one can enter
The sight you behold is so odd, you're stunned
The man hanging on the cross is God the Son
12 noon, it's pitch-black because the sunshine's lacking
Your minds can't fathom this divine transaction
As slowly the sound becomes mostly drowned
You realize that you're standing on holy ground
So forever will I tell
The three hours, Christ suffered more than any sinner ever will in hell
So forever will I tell
The three hours, Christ suffered more than any sinner ever will in hell
So forever will I tell
The three hours, Christ suffered more than any sinner ever will in hell
So forever will I tell
The three hours, Christ suffered more than any sinner ever will in hell
It's where we see Your holiness- at the cross
We see that You're controlling this- at the cross
We see how You feel about sin- at the cross
Your unfathomable love for men- at the cross
It's where we see Your sovereignty- at the cross
We see our idolatry- at the cross
We know that there's a judgment day- from the cross
May we never take our eyes away- from the cross
We're now in the realm of the sublime and profound
With God at the helm it's about to go down
The Father's wrath precise will blast and slice
The priceless Master Christ as a sacrifice
Willingly, He's under the curse
To be treated as if the Son was the worst scum of the earth
The scene is the craziest
Jesus being treated as if He is the shadiest atheist
How is it the Messiah is in the fiery pit
As if He was a wicked liar with twisted desires?
The One who's sinless and just
Punished as if He was promiscuous and mischievous with vicious lust
The source of all godly pleasure
Tormented as if He was a foul investor or child molestor
How could He be bruised like He was a goodie two-shoes
Who doesn't think that she needs the good news?
He's perfect in love and wisdom
But He's suffering as if He constructed the corrupt justice system
We should mourn at the backdrop
Jesus torn like He's on the corner with crack rock with p**n on His laptop
What is this, kid? His gifts are infinite
But He's hit with licks for religious hypocrites
He's the Light, but being treated like
He's the seedy type who likes to beat His wife
He's treated like a rapist, treated like a slanderer
Treated like a racist or maybe a philanderer
Jesus being penalized like He had sin inside
Filled with inner pride while committing genocide
I could write for a billion years and still can't name
All of the sins placed on the Lamb slain
But know this: the main thing the cross demonstrated
The glory and the holiness of God vindicated
So forever will I tell
In three hours, Christ suffered more than any sinner ever will in hell
In three hours, Christ suffered more than any sinner ever will in hell
In three hours, Christ suffered more than any sinner ever will in hell
In three hours, Christ suffered more than any sinner ever will in hell
It's where we see Your holiness- at the cross
We see that You're controlling this- at the cross
We see how You feel about sin- at the cross
Your unfathomable love for men- at the cross
It's where we see Your sovereignty- at the cross
We see our idolatry- at the cross
We know that there's a judgment day- from the cross
May we never take our eyes away- from the cross
