D
[tab]  G                   D  A
I heard a large crowd calling,

D                 G                  A
Mocking, scorning those who suffered there.

        D             G
As they hoisted up on high,

           D                A
Three more men condemned to die,

                                        D
The voice of One Man echoed through the air.

D G    D           Bm
"Eli lama sabachthani?"

    D                                    A
"My God why have you turned Your back on Me?"

       D                   G
"It is finished!", then He cried.

      D                 A
As He hung His head and died,

                              D
Messiah crucified for you and me.

D
Outside the city wall,

  G                    D  A
I watched the darkness falling.

       D                G                    A
As the power of sin and death had done their worst.

        D                G
And the One who made the light,

     D                A
Hung abandoned in the night.

                                   D
And He who made the oceans said "I thirst".

D G    D           Bm

       D                   G
"It is finished!", then He cried.

      D                 A
As He hung His head and died,

                              D
Messiah crucified for you and me.

D
Outside the city wall,

  G                 D  A
I heard a young Man calling,

D                 G              A
"Woman, take this man to be your son"

       D                  G
And He turned His face to see

        D              A
One who said "Remember me"

                                         D
And He said, "with Me to paradise you'll come"

D G    D           Bm
"Eli lama sabachthani?"

       D                   G
"It is finished!", then He cried.

      D                 A
As He hung His head and died,

                              D
Messiah crucified for you and me.

D                     G          A
"Forgive them Father, they don't understand

        D                 G
For the Man was God's own Son,

        D                 A
And His work on earth was done.

                                      D
And then He placed His spirit in God's hand.

D G    D           Bm

Outside the city wall,

  G            D    A
I saw two men approaching,

D                   G                   A
Saddened hearts and eyes filled up with tears.

        D            G
And His body they prepared,

      D                A
Linen bands, aloes and myrrh,

                                              D
With those stark words still ringing in their ears.

D G    D           Bm
"Eli lama sabachthani?"

    D                                    A
"My God why have you turned Your back on Me?"

       D                   G
"It is finished!", then He cried.

      D                 A
As He hung His head and died,

                              D
Messiah crucified for you and me.

D
Outside the garden tomb,

   G           D   A
An angel is proclaiming,

    D                G              A
"He isn't here, He's risen from the dead!"

    D                  G
His blood has paid for sin,

   D                  A
So that all may enter in.

                                   D
That mighty work is finished as He said.

D G    D           Bm

"My God why have you turned Your back on Me?"

       D                   G
"It is finished!", then He cried.

      D                 A
As He hung His head and died,

                              D
Messiah crucified for you and me.
