My God My God why has thou forsaken me?

I was conceived of the Virgin Mary 

And laid in a manger

My God My God why has thou forsaken me?

I spoke convicting words when I was older

And my life got put in danger

My God My God why has thou forsaken me?

All of these ordeals

Put me on an old rugged cross

My God My God why has thou forsaken me?

To bleed for the sins of the word

And to forgive mankind at any cost

My God My God why has thou forsaken me?

I slept in a borrowed tomb

For three days and three nights

My God My God why has thou forsaken me?

To wrestle away the keys of death and hell 

From one who poses himself as an angel of light 

My God My God why has thou forsaken me?

But I rise the third day morning

With all power in my hands

My God My God why has thou forsaken me?

The power to forgive iniquities 

And the power to heal the land

My God My God why hast thou forsaken me?
