I began with a heavy heart
that brightened in the end
before it all did start
they foretold-
He was my friend
on His walks of peace
preaching the holy word
young and old He would greet
lovingly tendering-
His sacred herd
when they captured Him
it was all part of the plan
to wash away our sin
for us to live-
in the promised land
they slew my Lord
up there on the cross
only He could afford
to pay for-
our sinful cost
only His physical form
died up there that day
special beyond the norm
no matter what-
lost people say
He's coming back again
to retrieve the final mass
those that are with Him
prepare for the joy-
that lasts and lasts!
