Shadows of the Cross

[Intro]
Silent shadows fall, the world holds its breath
A story of sacrifice, beyond life and death

[Verse 1]
Sky turns dark, a hush on the earth
He hangs alone, in pain and worth
Whispers of mercy, tears in the storm
A crown of thorns, a soul so worn

[Pre-Chorus]
Blood and water flow, tears of the divine
He breathes his last, in that sacred time
A veil torn open, secrets to unbind
Hope rises anew, in faith we find

[Chorus]
On Good Friday, freedom’s pain
From the cross, love remains
In the darkness, a promise bright
A resurrected dawn, shining light

[Bridge]
Pierced and broken, yet alive,
Through suffering, love will survive
The tomb remains, silent and sealed,
But in the dark, hope is revealed

[Outro]
When morning breaks, the stone rolled away
A new beginning, a brighter day
From shadows to glory, we sing,
Resurrection’s song, our hearts’ spring
