The Cross of Calvary

(SPOKEN )

At the cross of Calvary, Heaven heard a cry.

A cry from the Son of God.

“My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?”

Ɛyɛ osu a ɛfiri asɛnnua no so.

Ɛyɛ Ɔba no sufrɛ wɔ amanehunu mu.

The weight of the world's sin upon His shoulders,

The pain, the shame, the price of our redemption.

Oh, Jesus!

You took my place so I could be free.

You endured the darkness so I could walk in Your light.

Forever, I will remember Calvary!

(VERSE 1 )

“My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?”

The cry that echoed through eternity.

The Son of God, in agony,

Bearing the sin of humanity.

Wɔ asɛnnua no so, Wosufrɛɛ sɛ,

“Me Nyankopɔn, adɛn nti na Woagyaw me?”

Bɔne adesoa duruu Wo so,

Na Wugyinaa maa yɛn nyinaa.

The crown of thorns upon Your head,

The blood You shed, the tears You bled.

You bore the pain that should be mine,

To bring this broken heart divine grace.

(PRE)

Oh, what a love, so deep, so wide,

The Son of God was crucified.

Wɔbɔɔ Wo maa yɛn bɔne,

Na yɛanya nkwa wɔ Wo mu.

(CHO)

My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?

A cry of sorrow from the tree.

You bore my shame, You bore my pain,

Through Your wounds, I live again.

Yesu, Wo sufrɛ no nti,

Manya nkwagyeɛ, manya nkwa.

Wɔ asɛnnua no so, Wugyinaa hɔ maa me,

Wo dɔ nti, mennyae Wo da.

Oh, Calvary! Oh, Calvary!

Your precious blood has set me free.

Yesu, mɛkamfo Wo daa,

Wo dɔ nti, mɛsom Wo daa!

(VERSE 2 )

The Holy One was bruised for me,

The spotless Lamb upon the tree.

The One who knew no sin became

The sacrifice to bear my shame.

Wɔde yɛn bɔne nyinaa too Wo so,

Wɔmaa Wo amanehunu ne yea.

Wɔn a wɔyerae no nti na Wobaa,

Na Wode Wo nkwa bɔɔ afɔreɛ.

You took the judgment I deserved,

Your love is more than I can comprehend.

The cross became my victory,

Your sacrifice has ransomed me.

Oh, what a love, so deep, so wide,

The Son of God was crucified.

Wɔbɔɔ Wo maa yɛn bɔne,

Na yɛanya nkwa wɔ Wo mu.

(CHO)

My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?

A cry of sorrow from the tree.

You bore my shame, You bore my pain,

Through Your wounds, I live again.

Yesu, Wo sufrɛ no nti,

Manya nkwagyeɛ, manya nkwa.

Wɔ asɛnnua no so, Wugyinaa hɔ maa me,

Wo dɔ nti, mennyae Wo da.

Oh, Calvary! Oh, Calvary!

Your precious blood has set me free.

Yesu, mɛkamfo Wo daa,

Wo dɔ nti, mɛsom Wo daa!

(Vamp)

You took my place! You bore my shame! You gave Your life! I'll praise Your name!

Wugyinaa hɔ maa me! Wugyee me fii bɔne mu! Wohwiee Wo mogya maa me! Yesu, mɛkamfo Wo daa!

You were wounded, I am healed, By Your blood, my heart is sealed. Wɔbɔɔ Wo, na me nsa kaa ayaresa, Wɔde Wo mogya gyee me nkwa!

No more condemnation! No more separation! Through the cross of Jesus Christ, I have everlasting life!

Manya ahofadie! Manya nkwagyeɛ! Yesu Kristo asɛnnua no nti, Manya nkwa a ɛnni awieeɛ!

(OUTRO)

Oh, Jesus, thank You for the cross, Thank You for the price You paid. Meda Wo ase, Yesu, Wugyee me fii bɔne mu.

You were forsaken, I am accepted, You bore the cross, now I am redeemed.
