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 the cross
On top of Calvary mountain, they crucified our Lord
Oh, the cry (Jesus cried) from the cross
Forgive Him, Blessed Father, He died upon the cross
Oh, the cry (Jesus cried) from the cross
The Son of God was dying to save the world from loss
Saint Peter, He Denied him at that awful trial at 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
Oh, the cry (Jesus cried) from the cross
Forgive Him, Blessed Father, He died upon the cross
Oh, the cry (Jesus cried) from the cross
The Son of God was dying to save the world from loss
Oh, the cry (Jesus cried) from the cross
Forgive Him, blessed father, He died upon the cross
Oh, the cry (Jesus cried) from the cross
The son of God was dying to save the world from loss
The son of God was dying to save the world from loss
