Jesus Nazareno

Jesus of Nazareth
Jesus of Nazareth
Nailed to the cross
Covered in blood
His face became
His face pale
Like a divine angel
A crown of thorns
The people gave him
Eloi, Eloi
Lama sabachthani
Cried out to the Father
The divine Jesus
The good Redeemer
Called out again
Without strength, though
The Master breathed his last
He didn't curse
The ingratitude
That the people showed
Without any compassion
They gave him vinegar
Jesus turned it down
Feeling agony
Of death and pain
Eloi, Eloi
Lama sabachthani
Cried out to the Father
The divine Jesus
The good Redeemer
Called out again
Without strength, though
The Master breathed his last
The light turned to darkness
The earth shook
Dying on the cross
The Son of God
The veil was torn
Of separation
Granting us grace
Peace and forgiveness
Eloi, Eloi
Lama sabachthani
Cried out to the Father
The divine Jesus
The good Redeemer
Called out again
Without strength, though
The Master breathed his last
