For years we've searched to find the son
We've heard he's here, is our search done
Although we've traveled many roads

We have not found our king
You say this man upon that cross
Might be the one we seek

We heard him cry, "eli, eli,
My god, why do you forsake me?"
He cried again in agony
He died before our eyes
But now the ground it seems to shake
And darkness fills the sky

The crowd has fled, the veil is torn
And now all nature seems to mourn
The earthquake and these things we've seen
Have filled our hearts with grief
Could this man you've crucified
Be god's son indeed?

The crowd has fled, the veil is torn
And now all nature seems to mourn

Oh, my sweet lord!
He cried again in agony
He died before our eyes, yes
But now the ground it seems to shake
And darkness fills the sky
We heard him cry, "eli, eli,
My god, why do you forsake me?"
