The Saddest of all days (YB No 112)

This saddest of all days – today

When Jesus’ love was on display;

Our silent tears express our grief;

“Why?” - we cry out in disbelief!

 

Alone is he, this tragic day;

His friends deny, desert, betray;

Our silent tears express our grief;

“Why?” - we cry out in disbelief!

 

This sorrowful and shameful day

When evil violence has its way;

His suffering beyond belief;

For him to die was his relief.

 

When love was killed this awful day -

Distressed!  We wish to look away!

His suffering beyond belief;

For him to die was his relief.

 

This saddest of all days - today -

We need to meditate and pray;

We ponder on this tragedy,

Yet see beyond - the victory!
