When Darkness fell over Jerusalem

God must have been crying
all of heaven above
God must turned his face
He could no longer watch
His only Son on the cross
paying our awful costs
returning home again

When Darkness fell over Jerusalem
the living Son of God
covered in our shroud, our shame
dying that we may live
according to God’s plan
The world became dark
the sun refused to shine

Christ breathed his last
the curtain of the Temple
torn by great force, ripped
no need for sacrifice
the debt fully paid
Safely in his father’s arms
in the highest heaven
