What was it like Lord to carry the cross on Your back
You knew what was happening, yet Your faith You didn't lack
Blood, sweat and tears they saw upon Your face
Your Father was there with you, His loving grace

Why did they beat You so, as you suffered the pain
Didn't they know they'd be facing You again
What were You thinking when You saw Your mother's love
Perhaps they didn't believe Your Father saw from above
What were Your thoughts when they rolled the dice
Could you hear their laughing once or twice
Did you know when the torture would begin
How can we thank You Lord for taking away our sin

Did others scream when they pierced Your hand
Did anyone try to stop them, or didn't they understand
What were they thinking when tears fell from Your eyes
Didn't they know You couldn't hate nor despise
Did you cry out when they drove the nail thru Your feet
Did they look upon You, and did their eyes meet
Why didn't they know you were the Son of God
Didn't they know it was God's earth that they did trod

Here we are again, Lord, another Good Friday will come
Thank you, Father, for giving us Your Son
May we always love Him, as He taught us to do
We're ever thankful that we may always come to you
