on the cross i witnessed his love

On the Cross I witnessed His love (2)

Awakened I will sing for my Lord who’s above (2)

መስቀል ላይ ያየሁት ፍቅር (2)

ይቀሰቅሰኛል ለስሙ እንድዘምር (2)

He endured agony for they had struck His face (2)

Even though He was pierced He gives unending grace (2)

His love never wavered when they acted in wrath (2)

Though He was chained and shoved He still protects their path (2)

On the Cross I witnessed His love (2)

Awakened I will sing for my Lord who’s above (2)

The saint now a sinner the truth became a lie (2)

When they boldly shouted saying that He should die (2)

He was tested by man the Maker was demeaned (2)

Christ was imprisoned and then Barabbas was freed (2)

On the Cross I witnessed His love (2)

Awakened I will sing for my Lord who’s above (2)

Although His back was whipped without any pity (2)

He embraces them with forgiveness and mercy (2)

In harshness they gave Him the bitter vinegar (2)

And when they pierced His side out came blood and water (2)

On the Cross I witnessed His love (2)

Awakened I will sing for my Lord who’s above (2)

He wore a purple robe after they stripped His clothes (2)

They placed it on His head the braided crown of thorns (2)

O Hail King of the Jews they said mocking in strife (2)

But the death of Jesus provided them with life (2)

On the Cross I witnessed His love (2)

Awakened I will sing for my Lord who’s above (2)

መስቀል ላይ ያየሁት ፍቅር (2)

ይቀሰቅሰኛል ለስሙ እንድዘምር (2)
