THE LOVE OF THE CROSS
By Prophetic Professor Fizwell Nangwala Music
INTRO (Spoken – Soft Piano)
(Soft piano... gentle strings... distant choir humming...)
Prophetic Professor Fizwell Nangwala Music...
Before there was a crown of glory...
There was a crown of thorns.
Before resurrection morning...
There was a lonely cross.
Before the empty tomb...
There was the Lamb of God.
Today...
We remember the greatest love ever shown.
Jesus...
You suffered...
So that we could live.

CHORUS
Eloi... Eloi...Lama... Sabachthani...
Jesus cried...
"My God...My God...Why have You forsaken Me?"
(Congregation responds)
Nilibe chakukulipilani, Ambuye...Nilibe chakukulipilani, Ambuye...
Your love cannot be demonstrated better than this.
Thank You, Jesus...
You were broken...
For us.
VERSE 1 – GETHSEMANE
In the garden You knelt alone,
The weight of the world upon Your soul.
Your tears fell like drops of blood,
Yet You still said,
"Father...
Not My will...
But Yours be done."
The One who created heaven,
Allowed sinful hands to bind Him.
Love did not run away.
Love surrendered.
And every step You took...
Was for me.
(Soft choir)
I have nothing to repay You, Lord...

PRE-CHORUS
Every tear...
Every prayer...
Every wound...
You carried for us.

VERSE 2 – THE SCOURGING
The soldiers raised the whip.
Again...
And again...
And again...
Your holy back was torn open.
The stripes fell upon Your body.
The pain that belonged to me...
You carried Yourself.
You took my sickness.
You carried my shame.
You bore my punishment.
By Your wounds...
Healing began.
(Choir)
Thank You for every stripe...
Thank You for every wound...
Nilibe chakukulipilani, Ambuye...

VERSE 3 – THE CROWN AND THE CROSS
They placed a crown of thorns upon Your head.
Blood flowed down Your face.
They mocked the King of Kings.
Yet You answered hatred...
With silence.
You carried the heavy cross.
You stumbled beneath its weight.
Still...
You kept walking.
Because love...
Never gave up.
Every painful step...
Was carrying my future.
Every drop of blood...
Was writing my redemption.

Thank You for loving us.
You were broken...

VERSE 4 – THE NAILS
They stretched Your hands.
The hammer struck.
The nails pierced Your flesh.
Still...
You loved.
They pierced Your feet.
Still...
You forgave.
They lifted the cross.
Heaven watched.
Earth trembled.
The Lamb of God...
Was paying a debt He never owed.
To save people...
Who could never pay.
---
VERSE 5 – THE SPEAR
Darkness covered the earth.
Creation mourned.
You cried with a loud voice.
"It is finished."
Then the spear pierced Your side.
Blood and water flowed.
Mercy flowed.
Forgiveness flowed.
Hope flowed.
Life flowed.
The curtain was torn.
The way to the Father...
Was opened forever.
---
BRIDGE
You carried my curse.
You carried my suffering.
You carried my sickness.
You carried my shame.
You carried my rejection.
You carried my loneliness.
You carried my death.
So I could receive...
Life.
Freedom.
Peace.
Healing.
Forgiveness.
Eternal hope.
There is no greater love...
Than this.

Eloi... Eloi...
Lama... Sabachthani...
Jesus cried...
"My God...

Why have You forsaken Me?"
And because You were forsaken...
I can now call God...
My Father.
Nilibe chakukulipilani, Ambuye...

No love has ever been greater.
No sacrifice has ever been higher.

You were broken...
So that we could be made whole.
