In Golgotha
On a wooden cross
Crucified
Jesus of Nazareth
King of the Jews.

With a crown
Of thorns
And body bare
Save for the cloak
Of innocence
Jesus of Nazareth
King of the Jews.

“Save yourself!”
Shouts a mocking
Crowd knowing not
He came to save
And not to be saved.
Jesus of Nazareth
King of the Jews.

The only
Begotten Son
Of the Father
With five wounds
In the flesh
And a sixth
In the heart
Cried to the Father
Jesus of Nazareth
King of the Jews.
