Lyrics and Music by Ethan Erickson
I see the Savior walking on the road to Calvary
His cross is carried by a stranger that he knew perfectly
Beaten, bruised, and mocked by those who called him their king
A crown of thorns instead of gold adorned the prince of peace
Only Jesus could do it
Only he could pay the price
Only he could take the Father’s wrath
And give us new life
Only he could cause the veil to tear
And pour his Spirit out
Wake the dead as he cries out “it is done”
Only Jesus
I see the Savior laid down on the cross in agony
Soldiers pound the nails into his hands and his feet
As he hangs for you and me, the crowd laughs bitterly
“If you’re the son of God, why don’t you come down off that tree?”
I see the Savior’s body taken down and buried
But the tomb was only rented, he has the victory
On the third he rose again, oh death, where is your sting?
The son of God has triumphed over the enemy
