Poor Bishop Hooper
Jesus Dies on the Cross
[Verse 1]
From the sixth hour it came
A darkness like no man had seen
The sun's light failed and through the black
A voice that held all breathing

[Verse 2]
As His friends stood distant still
A thirst, the wine, His pierced side fulfilled
Bowed His head, the innocent
He left His life, His Spirit

[Chorus]
And He cried, "My God, My God
Why have You forsaken Me?"
He cried, "My God, My God
Why have You forsaken Me?"

[Interlude]

[Verse 3]
The veil was torn, from the top to the bottom
The tombs opened and the holy ones rose
His murderers saw what they had done
And a soldier spoke what he had come too late to know
[Chorus]
"Truly this was the Son of God"
"And truly this was the Son of God"
"And truly this was the Son of God"
"And truly this was the Son of God"
