Lyrics

They hung him on the cross
They hung him on the cross
They hung him on the cross for me
One day when I was lost
They hung him on the cross
They hung him on the cross for me
They whooped him up the hill
They whooped him up the hill
They whooped him up the hill for me
One day when I was lost
They hung him on the cross
They whooped him up the hill for me
He never said among them word
They never said among them word
They never said among them word for me
One day when I was lost
They hung him on the cross
They hung him on the cross for me
They bit him in the side
They bit him in the side
They bit him in the side for me
One day when I was lost
They hung him on the cross
They hung him on the cross for me
He hung his head and died
He hung his head and died
He hung his head and died for me
One day when I was lost
They hung him on the cross
They hung him on the cross for me
