Tune: St Francis Xavier
('My God, I love thee, not because')
Mark 15 v.33-39
*********
Jesus crucified, noon-tide dark
A scene so bleak and stark
O'er the whole land for hours three
Christ's agonies here, see
Then with loud voice, Jesus did cry
God His Father not nigh
'My God, my God, why have you me
Forsaken?', my help be
'Eloi, Eloi', His cry, they said
To Elijah He pled
One to Him vinegar offered
Some comforting conferred
Then Jesus with final loud cry
Did breathe His last and die
Temple curtain in two was torn
And people there did mourn
His Passion did bring salvation
As said centurion
Stood there, said, 'Truly this man He
The Son of God sure be'

- Comment from author about the poem: A hymn-poem in 8.6.8.6. metre. In some Readings for this Holy Week, Palm Sunday has St Mark's Gospel Passion narrative all in one go. Then the other Gospels follow through the week.

I remember being told of this at Sunday School way back when I was a young lad ….
Thanks N. I might say 'Hear it at church again, but...…… we can't meet'. Well, it's in the Bible. Got one? Or dust it off?!
