so they began to plot against God's one and only son

He tried but he couldn't - wash the blood from his guilty hands

Jesus died on a lonely hill they called Mount Calvary

They laid Him in a tomb and a stone sealed Him inside

shocked and excited when they reached His grave

they ran back to town - and everybody heard them cry
