Cry From The Cross - Marley's Ghost

One morning in Jerusalem, about the break of dawn

A great trial was in session

They tried our Blessed Lord

They scorned Him and they mocked Him

They made Him carry a cross

On top of Calvary mountain they crucified our Lord

Oh, the cry (Oh, He cried) from the cross

«Forgive them, Blessed Father!»

He died upon the cross

Oh, He cried (Jesus cried) from the cross

The Son of God was dying to save the world from loss

Saint Peter, he denied Him at the awful trial that night

He said he never knew Him — it was an awful sight

He looked upon Saint Peter with eyes of perfect love

Saint Peter’s heart was broken, he prayed to God above

Crying, «Father, it is finished!»

and He bowed His head and died

The world was left in darkness, the graves were open wide

An earthquake shook Jerusalem, the dead walked into town

The multitude was frightened, God’s wrath came pouring down
