"Jesus Could Have Come down From The Cross"
Matthew 27:39-43 ncv
"People walked by and insulted Jesus and shook
their heads, saying, "You said you could destroy
the Temple and build it again in three days. So
save yourself! Come down from that cross if you
are really the Sons of God!"
The leading priests, the teachers of the law, and
the older Jewish leaders were also making fun of
Jesus. They said, "He saved others, but he can't
save himself! He says he is the king of Israel!
If he is the king, let him come down from the
cross. Then we will believe in Him. He trusts
in God, so let God save him now, if God really
wants him. He himself said, 'I am the Son of God.'
CHORUS:
HE COULD HAVE CALLED-- TEN THOUSAND ANGELS--
TO DESTROY THE WORLD-- AND SET HIM FREE--
HE COULD HAVE CALLED-- TEN THOUSAND ANGELS,--
BUT HE DIED ALONE--- FOR YOU AND ME.---
Jesus Dies
Matthew 27:45-50 NCV
At noon the whole country became dark, and the darkness
lasted for three hours. About three o'clock Jesus cried
in a loud voice, "Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?" This means
"My God, my God, why have you rejected me?" Some of the
people standing there who heard this said, "He is calling
Elijah." Quickly one of them ran and got a sponge and filled
it with vinegar and tied it to a stick and gave it to Jesus
to drink. But the others said, "Don't bother him. We want to
see if Elijah will come to save him." But Jesus cried out
again in a loud voice and died.
John 19:30 kjv "... he said, it is finished..."
CHORUS:
HE COULD HAVE CALLED-- TEN THOUSAND ANGELS--
TO DESTROY THE WORLD-- AND SET HIM FREE--
HE COULD HAVE CALLED-- TEN THOUSAND ANGELS,--
BUT HE DIED ALONE--- FOR YOU AND ME.---
