On Calvary’s throne
the Lord, hanging alone
gave all that he was,
going humbly, by his choice
fulfilling the prophets of old
and sealing the seam, the cut,
the line in the sand,
the sentence we all bear
balancing the scales,
making us whole
On Easter he rose
to bring the tale to an end
to give us life, evermore
if we would only come to him
