I cannot bear To watch Him die alone

Описание: -- These lyrics were adapted from a part of a sermon I gave about the scene of the crucifixion

Verse
At the sixth hour
The light withdrew
The sky went silent
And the earth held its breath

The sun refused
To bear the sight
The veil was torn
From top to end

No thunder spoke
No comfort came
Only darkness
And waiting

Verse
A mother stood
With a broken heart
She had watched Him grow
She had watched Him bleed

Once He said
Woman, behold your son
Arrangements made
But not enough

Love could not stop
What was now certain
The end had come
And the light was gone

Pre-Chorus
A promise remembered
From long ago
A blade she was told
Would reach her soul

The words returned
Too late to flee
This was the moment
There could be no other

Chorus (quiet, restrained)
I cannot bear
To watch Him die alone

Verse
The mockers fell
Into sudden silence
Their words spent
Their laughter gone

John stood near
Hearing final care
Behold your mother
The time was sealed

He remembered the voice
By the river’s edge
Behold the Lamb
Who takes the world’s sin

Chorus (stronger)
I cannot bear
To watch Him die alone

Verse
Somewhere distant
A man wept bitter tears
Another counted silver
Another washed his hands

None could see
What was unfolding
None could measure
The depth of shame

The cross stood still
While heaven waited
And judgment pressed
Its full weight down

Bridge
Poured out like water
Bones torn apart
A heart like wax
Melting in the chest

Strength dried up
Life slipping away
Crushed beneath
The weight of us

The Lord was pleased
To crush His Son
Not in cruelty
But in justice fulfilled

Instrumental / Solo

Verse
The Father watched
What eyes could not endure
The Beloved Son
Now bearing all

Too pure to look
Upon the sin
He turned away
As wrath descended

He did not turn
From love or will
But from the sight
Of what His Son became

Final Chorus (full, resolved)
I could not bear
To watch Him die alone

So I laid the weight
Upon My Son
The judgment meant
For every one

I could not bear
To watch Him die alone

Outro
The Holy One
Turned from the sight

The Beloved
Made sin

He willed the cross
And could not watch

So darkness fell
And heaven held its breath
