As the years flew swiftly by,
She watched her son with pride,
His strong but gentle arms
And hands there at his side.

She then thought her life was over.
She suffered unspeakable loss
When her son's beloved hands
Were nailed to a wooden cross...

But that was just the beginning.
For he died and rose again.
Her sorrow then was ended,
And joy replaced her pain.

For, you see, her son was Jesus,
God coming to earth as man,
To save us from our sins
According to His plan.

We cannot save ourselves.
Our sins would lead to death.
God put our sins on Jesus,
The perfect and the best.

With this came our forgiveness
If we believe in Him
And ask Him into our hearts,
He'll take away our sins.

As He was resurrected,
Eternal Life He'll give
To all who have faith and believe
And to His hand will cling.
