Eloi, Eloi , lama sabachthani
We heard the child, twelve years of age speak wisdom beyond his years
Then for nearly two decades, he simply disappeared
Returned a crazy heretic, defiant of the law
Spewing forth sacrilege offensive to us all
Turning over tables in the temples
Driving Hell out of the holy house
Challenging authority of elders
Dares to claim that he can drive demons out
Tempted by the devil to test the hands of God
And to test the grace of angels at his beck and call
Offered every kingdom that lay upon the earth
But there was a reason He was sent to serve
Midnight in the garden contemplating fate
Falls down to his knees and bows his head to pray
A moment of doubt
a glance to the sky
Could have backed out
still chose to die
The ground quakes as the stakes are driven
Mary cries as the Son dies for you and me
Sins washed clean in blood that streams from a brutal act of mercy
We heard the child, twelve years of age speak wisdom beyond his years
Then for nearly two decades, he simply disappeared
Returned a crazy heretic, defiant of the law
Spewing forth sacrilege offensive to us all
Turning over tables in the temples
Driving Hell out of the holy house
Challenging authority of elders
Dares to claim that he can drive demons out
Tempted by the devil to test the hands of God
And to test the grace of angels at his beck and call
Offered every kingdom that lay upon the earth
But there was a reason He was sent to serve
Midnight in the garden contemplating fate
Falls down to his knees and bows his head to pray
A moment of doubt
a glance to the sky
Could have backed out
still chose to die
The ground quakes as the stakes are driven
Mary cries as the Son dies for you and me
Sins washed clean in blood that streams from a brutal act of mercy
