I feel my chest just ache with every breath I breathe With every step I take I feel my strength just leave I feel I’m next to break it’s getting hard to see My death is on it’s way they stop and laugh at me They heard just what I say but as I walk these streets They spit upon my face curse me as I bleed But as I call Your name I know Your hearing me So hear me as I pray but not so far from me Father I know this day I know what You planned for me And the reason I came it was to Earth to be A way for those astray so they can know Your peace So as I go to my grave I’m knowing what You hold for me The blood runs down my face and lands upon my sleeve I’m all alone today my friends abandon me But still it’s all the same it’s prophesied to be With final steps I make they start to scream at me
Cross upon my back the hill in front of me Whips begin to lash and draw more blood from me As I begin to gasp I see my destiny They hold me down and laugh and place the nails on me With every spike they grab I scream violently With every time they jab the nails I writhe in agony They strip me of all I have I’m naked for all to see A king without a land and stripped of all his royalty Nine inch nails in hands and now upon my feet As I the Son of Man I’m hanging next to two thieves My Father in heaven now why has Thou forsaken me I’m barely breathing now my lungs collapse inside of me I’m barely seeing now my vision blurs in front of me I’m barely even now a man you’d recognize and see I’m whipped and bruised beaten spit upon and cursed to be I look upon the gathered crowd as they scream at me
Chorus
It’s getting darker now the sun it covers up its light It’s getting harder now for me to hold onto this life I’m slipping farther now to death I struggle just to fight My head it starts to bow I know it’s just about that time For it to be over now their life is why I’ve given mine I’m barely holding now I know I’m just about to die I came down from heaven to seek and save and just to find See I showed them how I healed the lame and plus the blind But I’m going now I got a purpose that’s divine As I cry out loud from the pain that just fills my mind They tell me to climb on down from the cross that holds me high The mock me now as I struggle now and just to try To hold my ground as the black clouds fill the sky It’s over now, I bow my head as I begin to cry It is, Father, It Is Finished!!
