When upon the Cross of Calvary, great darkness fell for all to see,

For three hours upon the land, a darkness many didn’t understand,

That time after Christ was crucified, the time He suffered and died,

A time filled with silence too, when Christ had died for me and you.



Darkness surrounded His death, as He approached His last breath,

Darkness on the land was unfurled, around The Light of The World.

Silence fell on the mocking crowd, whose evil shout was very loud,

As the light scattered the darkness, hearts again, showed hardness.



Upon Christ God placed on Him, the darkened iniquity of man’s sin,

Made to be sin for Adam’s race, upon that cross He took our place,

And God couldn’t look and see, that sin Christ bore for you and me,

So through that dark span of time, God the Father had turned aside.



As Christ was on that bloody stake, the Son, the Father did forsake,

He gave His spirit, at His last breath, to His Father, as He saw death,

The earth quaked, opening graves, and bodies of saints were raised,

And as that Temple Curtain torn, the Age of Grace by God was born.



A soldier with sword and rod, said “surely that was The Son of God.”

The Son of God for all sinners lost, was taken down from the cross,

Thinking of that cross, we must recall, the Lamb of God died for all,

He died upon a bloody stake, so His Resurrection we could partake.
