Who is this
transforming power
turning misery to mercy
at the ninth hour?
Here He is
as silent as a lamb
adhering to His love for us -
truly the great "I Am".
His misery is mingling
with mine
only He is truly
the Divine
Son of God the Father
He has come to take it all
He is as burdened as certain
as I am flawed.
I cannot fathom
His love
to take
my torment and wrongs
He who made no mistake,
who gave only goodness
on this earth of lament
but because of His sacrifice
He would prevent
any more suffering -
by His ascent
and turn misery to mercy
as was His Almighty intent.
Praise the Lord, Praise the Lord
now and forever more - Praise the Lord!
