Today we remember his death
How he was buried in dirt
How he went through pain
For our justification and gain
How he was whipped
Afflicted and stripped
Like a criminal was he treated
So that death be defeated
Shame and sorrow he bore for us
Stripes and wounds he endured for us
He descended into the depths of hell
To save us from sin when Adam fell
He chose to be cursed for our sake
Eternal life he gave for us to take
He conquered death and sin
Gave us a chance to win
He died for you and I
He came to lift us high
From sin and filth
From dirt and silt
Today we remember his death
The death of our Lord Jesus Christ.
