Oh Jesus, you died on the cross
Under a Roman order,
Which God allowed to be carried out.
There were two thieves next to you,
One on your left, one on your right.
You comforted the one on your right by saying,
"Today you will be with me in paradise"
From the cross you forgave your enemies by saying,
"Father, forgive them for they know not what they do"
You turned to your beloved disciple, John and said,
"Son, this is your mother, woman, this is your son"
So that they would take care of each other.
You cried out to God,
"My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"
You said you were thirsty and a Roman soldier gave you a drink.
Then, you said "it is finished"
Meaning your sacrifice was paid in full.
Finally, you said, "Father, into your hands I commit my spirit"
Then you bowed your head and gave up the ghost.
Amen
