(\'When I survey the wondrous cross\')
Mark 10 v.32-34
********
Gathers dark cloud of destiny
Yet for world\'s salvation it be
Jesus and His disciples they
To Jerusalem made their way
They were amazed, followed afraid
Yet God\'s will, plan, was not mislaid
For He did tell disciples there
Of things that He would then in share
Saying, Behold, we now travel
To Jerusalem to fulfil
Plan and will of my Father sure
Will bring salvation evermore
For I, the Son of man shall be
Delivered to sufferings, see
From the chief priests and scribes, and they
Shall condemn Him and have their day
Shall sentence Him to death though He
Pure, spotless, and innocent be
Shall deliver Him to Gentiles
He be in their power awhiles
And they shall mock and scourge Him sore
Shall spit upon Him, hatred for
Him they shall have, shall Him e\'en kill
He faces humanity\'s ill
But not the end, for on third day
He shall rise again, He the Way
And the Truth, and the Life of all
Who in faith believe, on Him call
