The worst Friday, but the best

Many expected revolution
– the rule of the Romans thrown,
but Jesus was bringing salvation,
their religious hypocrisy shown.

And so they demand crucifixion
– but thus was our Substitute killed
– God’s plan had not failed in confusion
– Christ laid down his life as God willed.

We never could come to God’s holiness
unless we are washed clean from sin;
our punishment earned He there bore for us
– through suffering, our Life He would win.
