"The Last Words Of Jesus" lyrics
The Worship Initiative Lyrics
May the Lamb that was slain receive
The due reward of his suffering
O glorify him crucified
Amen
The excruciating pain of the cross could not silence Jesus' repeated entreaties:
"Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing"
The soldiers gambled for his clothes
Some women stood afar off
The crowd remained a while to watch
Jesus commended his mother to John's care and John to hers
He spoke words of kingly assurance to the penitent criminal crucified at his side
Meanwhile, the rulers sneered at him, shouting:
"He saved others, but he can't save himself!"
Their words, spoken as an insult, were the literal truth
He could not save himself and others simultaneously
He chose to sacrifice himself in order to save the world
Father forgive them, for they know not what they do
Forgive them, they know not what they do
Father forgive them, for they know not what they do
Forgive them, they know not what they do
Today you will be with me in paradise
You will be with me today
Today you will be with me in paradise
You will be with me today
Behold your son, behold your mother, behold your son
Behold your son, behold your mother, behold your son
My God, my God, why have You forsaken me?
Why have You forsaken me?
I thirst, I thirst
I thirst, I thirst
It is finished, it is finished
It is finished, it is finished
Father, into Your hands
Into Your hands, I commit my spirit
Father, into Your hands
Into Your hands, I commit my spirit
The due reward of his suffering
O glorify him crucified
Amen

Father forgive them, for they know not what they do
Forgive them, they know not what they do
Father forgive them, for they know not what they do
Forgive them, they know not what they do
Today you will be with me in paradise
You will be with me today
Today you will be with me in paradise
You will be with me today
Behold your son, behold your mother, behold your son
Behold your son, behold your mother, behold your son
My God, my God, why have You forsaken me?
Why have You forsaken me?
I thirst, I thirst
I thirst, I thirst
It is finished, it is finished
It is finished, it is finished
Father, into Your hands
Into Your hands, I commit my spirit
Father, into Your hands
Into Your hands, I commit my spirit
