Lyrics
Verse 1 Behold the cross on which was hung life’s very Lord, God’s only Son; Mary’s own babe, so cold and so still, helpless before her on Calvary hill. Verse 2 Nails in his hands, nails in his feet, a traitor kiss upon his cheek; and his pierced heart, now broken in two, love crucified for me and for you. Verse 3 Eyes that won’t see, ears that won’t hear, lips that deny the friend once so dear; slowly he turns and captures your eye, then passes on to Calv’ry to die. Verse 4 Behold the cross of Christ in our midst: all those who bear his wounds in their flesh. Suff’ring for crimes of mercy and peace, signs of the kingdom on Calvary street. Verse 5 Behold the cross on which was hung life’s very Lord, God’s only Son; Mary’s own babe, so cold and so still, helpless before her on Calvary hill.
