Good Friday

At that hour

Time stood still

Upon the calvary

Christ was killed

Hung on a cross

The earth trembled

The sky thundered

Lightening flashed

As God was hanged

Nailed to a cross

The jews watched

This greatest crime

The world ever knew

Heart broken

In deep anguish

Mary tearfuly watched

Her son die at noon

The women cried.

Many children wailed

In fear and sadness

The light faded

Twilight crept in

On the wooden cross

Christ breathed his last

giving all Redemption
