  1-O what a great redemption
  Not a prophet nor an angel
  No man nor great dignitary
  To save your flock was worthy
  You walked the salvation path
  Asking for this cup to pass
  No one could take this chalice
  But Jesus of the tribe of Judah
  
  2-You went to pray at Gethsamene
  Where your friends left You in agony
  Said "your farewell made me cry
  your laziness left me wondering why
  Why arent you wake my brothers
  tonight even for a mere hour
  I will leave you with no friends
  And will now go to be crucified
  
  3- They crowned you with many thorns
  And the blood flowed from Your wounds
  Your eyes looked up to heaven
  Your tortured body was drained
  I bid farwell to this earth
  On it there will be a curse
  I tried to gather your children
  You disobeyed resting heaven
  
  4- Your back withstood all the pain
  All thirty-nine lashes in vain
  You accepted them and remained
  Quiet, peaceful with no say
  With a spear Your side they pierced
  And Your hands nailed with no fear
  Your blood screaming out loud saying
  Please forgive them Almighty
  
  5- Your dear head leaned to the side
  Your soul with the sunset went high
  The girls in Jerusalem mourned
  They cried their hearts were broken
  The bright moon then darkened
  And the daring sun faded
  On the cross my Lord was nailed
  Jesus my Lord will not leave
  
  6- The fog and the clouds rolled heavily
  Over Your head, Your majesty
  Embracing You with love that dissapeared
  From the heart of humanity
  Even the massive rocks split
  The oceans in sadness wept
  And David in his psalm praised
  Your throne is to the end of time
  
  7- Glory to the Father and to the Son
  and to the Holy Spirit
  Your humanity and divinity
  Will bring You back Almighty
  All this was done just for me
  A selfish, slave unworthy
  I'll never sin again If I keep
  The crucified Lord before me
