[Intro: Bethany Barnard]
May the Lamb that was slain receive
The due reward of his suffering
O glorify him crucified
Amen
[Spoken: Shane Barnard]
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 carе and John to hers
He spoke words of kingly assurancе 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
[Verse 1: Robbie Seay]
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

Behold your son, behold your mother, behold your son

[Verse 6: Aaron Williams]
Father, into Your hands
Into Your hands, I commit my spirit
Father, into Your hands
Into Your hands, I commit my spirit
