Eloi, Eloi, Lama Sabactoni? Lyrics

To think for one second
About bearing the full wrath of God

Eloi, Eloi, Lama Sabactoni!

Hanging there
Who knows how long?
Chief priests and scribes
Hurling their jibes
Ignorant they
Threw Him away
Passover Lamb
Saving the damned
He is pierced
Being crushed
He's despised
Upon His cross

"Father, oh, Father
Why have You thus forsaken Me?
Oh Father, why have You thus forsaken Me?"

Unseen by all
The wrath to befall
On God the Son
It will be done
To take the guilt
And heal His sheep

"Father, oh, Father
Why have You thus forsaken Me?
Oh Father, why have You thus forsaken Me?"

With a loud voice, Jesus cried out
"Father, into Your hands, I commit My spirit!
It is finished!"

And then there was a great earthquake
For the rocks split in two
And the curtain of the temple tore from top to bottom

The Father was
Pleased to crush
His only Son
To pay for sin
Christ poured His soul
Giving His life
Return to the fold
And be made right

Humbled to death
Even death on a cross

Therefore, God has highly exalted Him
And bestowed on Him a name that is above every name
So that at the name of Jesus
Every knee shall bow

Amen
