Good Friday/Crucifixion Hymn ~ Throned Upon the Awful Tree (new melody)

Описание: CCLI# 5166697

VERSE ONE
C#m B
Throned upon the awful tree,
Amaj7 F#m
Lamb of God, Your grief I see.
C#m B
Darkness veils Your anguished face;
Amaj7 F#m
None its lines of woe can trace.
C#m B
None can tell what pangs unknown
Amaj7 F#m C#m
Hold You silent and alone.

VERSE TWO
C#m B
Silent through those three dread hours,
Amaj7 F#m
Wrestling with the evil powers,
C#m B
Left alone with human sin,
Amaj7 F#m
Gloom around You and within,
C#m B
Till the appointed time is nigh,
Amaj7 F#m
Till the Lamb of God may die.

VERSE THREE
C#m B
Hark, that cry that peals aloud
Amaj7 F#m
Upward through the whelming cloud!
C#m B
You, the Father’s only Son,
Amaj7 F#m
You, His own anointed One,
C#m B
You are asking “can it be”
Amaj7 F#m
“Why have You for-saken Me?”

VERSE FOUR
C#m B
Lord, should fear and anguish roll,
Amaj7 F#m
Darkly o’er my sinful soul,
C#m B
You, who once were thus bereft
Amaj7 F#m
That Your own might ne’er be left,
C#m B
Teach me by that bitter cry
Amaj7 F#m
In the gloom to know You nigh.
