Cry From the Cross

Writer: Johnnie Masters

V#1
One morning in Jerusalem
About the break of dawn
The great trial was in session
They tried our blessed Lord
They mocked Him and they scorned Him
They made Him carry the cross
On top of Calvary's mountain
They crucified our Lord

Chorus:
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

V#2
Saint Peter he denied Him
At that 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
