At that darkest hour in Christ’s life on earth,
When the day turned darkest night,
When God turned His back on His only Son
And the sun gave forth no light.
His followers thought that all was lost,
His ministry was done.
But early on that Sunday morn
As came the light, arose the Son!
The Son of God had conquered death,
Fulfilled the promise given,
That He would save us from our sins;
A ransom for all men.
Accept that Gift He gives with love,
Available to all.
He’ll give to you eternal life
If you’ll just heed His call.
“And everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
—Acts 2:21 (NIV)
