Lyrics: Father, why must I suffer? Please let this cup just pass me by.
Not my will, but only Thy will be done, yes, even if I must die!
My Son, the world is waiting, the time has come to fulfill the plan.
I love you and yet we must do this sacrifice for the sins of man.

The road to Calvary is rocky and long, The sky grows dark, the wind blows strong.
Earthquakes and thunder and lightning and rain, The curtain of the temple is rent in twain!

Surely this was the Son of God!

Then on the third day the women came, Bringing sweet spices to honor His name.
Found not the Savior, the tomb was bare. Only an angel with news to share.

Christ has arisen, the stone is gone, Go tell the world with a joyful song.
Christ has arisen to set man free, Showing the way for the world to see.

Alleluia, sing alleluia! Christ is risen, our Lord is risen!

Now to the world this glad message we bring: Jesus is risen, our Lord and King!
Now is fulfilled Heavenly Father's plan, Bringing salvation and life to man!

Alleluia, sing alleluia! Chris is risen, our Lord is risen!
Christ the Lord!
