crying at the cross – v3

Crying at the cross
with Mary, with the others;
Holding onto Mary
my mother now with me
watching her first-born
become our sacrifice

Staring up at Jesus
wondering how long
His pain would last;
Holding onto Mary
her uncontrollable sobbing
watching her first-born
become our sacrifice

Wanting to be with her
in her moment of anguish;
Honored that my Savior
had chosen me to care for her
watching her first-born
become our sacrifice
