Somewhere

Somewhere

Somewhere the Son is shining bright.

Beside a Father who gave him to die;

And hid his face from the hideous sight.

Until he heard His surrendering sigh.

There was sadness in the upper room

As he prepared them for His awful day

He sat at sop and told them of gloom

Then walked to the Gadsden to pray.

Somewhere the book of life will show

The names of those who pierced His side.

Then all who sinned will surly know

For their sins, and ours, Jesus died.

Somewhere the birds are singing

As they dart here and there.

They are sheltered in His arms

And have not one care.

Somewhere a poor soul kneels praying;

Mind pressed back across the years.

To that sanctifying day on Mt. Calvary

And his eyes welled up with tears.

Somewhere in the crowd stood someone

Who’s love for Him was great

They heard His cry of submission

As He sailed through heavens gate.
