A Cry of Victory

It is finished, accomplish
my work here is done
Christ’s word of victory
hanging on the cross
Not defeated, vanquished
her fulfilled his call
all God asked of him
Christ gave God his all

Father forgive them, for they know not what they do

Truly, I say to you, today you will be with me in paradise

Woman, behold your son: behold your mother

My God, My God, why have you forsaken me?
