A spear dropped
A loving heart stopped
A tear fell behind me

I turned to look
As the earth shook
And there stood a lady

All in white
As bright as light
She gazed up and beyond

There on high
Reaching across the sky
Was her only Son



With every tear
The cross shivered
For great is perfect sorrow for sin

Great is also the sacrifice
That brought eternal life
And the passage to glory therein

When the created earth
Received this perfect sphere
It groaned to receive the weight

Of a Mother's love
A Mother's sigh
A knowledge of a certain fate

The Mother sighed
As Her Son died
The deed was done

Sin was conquered
Devils scattered
Death was overcome
