Carved Wood
They cut a piece of wood, made a cross for my Savior
Carved wood, with nails driven in, heavy it became
He carried the cross, fell on the way
But God gave him grace, dying on the cross
For me and for you
It was made like this, the Savior's cross
Carved wood, with nails driven in
Heavy it became
Before Pilate, Jesus was taken as a criminal
Approaching Him, looking at the Master, he asked
Are you the king of the Jews? Jesus said: Indeed, I Am
My kingdom is eternal, not of this world, I am not from here
It was made like this, the Savior's cross
Carved wood, with nails driven in
Heavy it became
Arriving at Calvary, they nailed my Savior to the cross
With the crown of thorns, with a bleeding forehead, he pleaded to the Father
Pierced with pain, my Savior remained
At three o'clock in the afternoon, he bowed his head and expired
It was made like this, the Savior's cross
Carved wood, with nails driven in
Heavy it became
It was made like this, the Savior's cross
Carved wood, with nails driven in
Heavy it became
