Paper 187 β The Crucifixion πΆ Song: The Triumph of Fidelity (Verse 1 β On the Way to Golgotha) Toward Golgotha the Master went, No cry of hate, no punishment sent. The beam upon His shoulders lay, Yet freely He chose that road that day. Barabbas lived and walked away, While Michael trod the darker way. Not forced by God nor fate compelled, But by the love He always held. (Chorus β Faithful Unto the End) Faithful unto the end He stood, Answering evil only with good. Though men condemned and mocked His name, The Father's love remained the same. Faithful unto the end and true, Revealing what God's sons can do. Not conquered by the fear of loss, But crowned by love upon the cross. (Verse 2 β The Crucifixion) The soldiers raised the rugged tree, For all Jerusalem to see. The rulers mocked and challenged still, Yet He refused to bend His will. No power used to strike them down, No angels came to claim a crown. His kingdom never ruled by force, But by the spirit's gentler course. (Bridge β Those Who Remained) His mother stood through tears and pain, And John remained beside her frame. The women faithful gathered near, Refusing still to yield to fear. While others hid and hope grew dim, Their love remained nearby with Him. Beneath the shadow of that day, Their loyalty did not fade away. (Verse 3 β The Thief on the Cross) One thief looked through the blood and dust, And saw a man he knew could trust. Though hanging there in mortal pain, The Master served the souls of men. Compassion lived within His eyes, Beneath the darkened midday skies. No suffering could ever dim The Father's living light in Him. (Chorus β Faithful Unto the End) Faithful unto the end He stood, Answering evil only with good. Though men condemned and mocked His name, The Father's love remained the same. Faithful unto the end and true, Revealing what God's sons can do. Not conquered by the fear of loss, But crowned by love upon the cross. (Bridge β The Meaning Revealed) The cross was not the Father's plan, Nor payment for the sins of man. The shame belonged to human pride, That placed God's Son there crucified. Yet through the darkness something shone, A truth the universe has known. No hatred can destroy the light Of one who chooses what is right. (Final Chorus β Triumph of Fidelity) Faithful unto the end He stood, The Son who showed the Father's good. No wrath appeased, no debt repaid, But love revealed and truth displayed. Faithful unto the end always, The Light of Nebadon ablaze. And all the worlds would one day see The triumph of fidelity. (Outro) His mother wept, John stayed near, The faithful stood and conquered fear. The flesh would rest, the mission done, Yet nothing ended with the Son. The Father's love remained unchanged, Eternal truth through sorrow's pain. And through the ages still we hear: "Be faithful, for the Father is near."
