Am
“We will give you robe of scarlet,
E
Crown of thorns upon your head.
Am
Strip you, mock you, crucify you.
G Am
King of Jews you’ll soon be dead!”
(chorus)
Heavenly Father, please forgive them,
G Am
For they know not what they do!”
Am
“Hope you don’t mind if we gamble,
E
Clothes are shared among us all.
Am
If you’re thirsty we will give you,
G Am
Wine to drink and a dash of gall !”
Am
“If you really are God’s son then,
E
Come down from your cross so high!
Am
You saved others , King of Israel,
G Am
Or have you told us all a lie ?”
(chorus)
“Heavenly Father, heavenly Father,
G Am
Why have you deserted me?
G Am
....It is finished.... I must die !”
