The demons whispered in Christ's ear
   as there He hung upon the cross
They teased and taunted saying Satan
   soon would be the final boss

The sun beat down and burned His body
   blood dripped forth from wounds so fresh
And flies and ants were there tormenting
   biting. . . stinging . . . at His flesh

His hands and feet were pierced by spikes
   His nerves were white-hot coals within
Excruciating pain was constant
   all the while He bore our sin

He felt God's absence in this test
   He bore the stripes for you and me
A greater test of agony and pain
   than all the world would ever see

His life was shedding drop by drop
  and blood fell freely to the ground
As angry crowds flung forth vile curses-
  stood there mocking all around

But as His last breath uttered
  "it is finished - now I come to You"
He asked, "Oh God forgive mankind
   for they know not this thing they do"

The Agony at Calvary . . . . .
    the price He paid. . . . .
          the suffering pain. . .
Must bring us to our knees repenting. . .
     don't leave Him hanging there. . .
           . . . . . in vain. . . !!
