Lyrics

There was a sense of helplessness
The crowd was hushed and still
Like a blanket darkness fell atop that wretched hill
Fear stirred among them like a thief
And every sound was kept
As lightning rode upon the sky
Darkness wept
They pierced His side
The crimson tide came pouring like a flood
The earth was grieved as it received
The sacrificial blood
Sounds of weeping filled the air
As darkness o'er them swept
"Forgive them" were His only words
And darkness wept
Would any rise to His defense
Would one man stand alone
They hid their fears like sepulchers
Full of dead men's bones
Their only hope was crucified
Their sorrow knew no depth
As they beheld His broken form
Darkness wept
Oh, what a scene
Christ dying there for someone such as I
He could not feel His Father's touch
"I thirst" they heard Him cry
God turned away as His dear Son
Embraced a hero's death
All of Heaven bowed with grief
And darkness wept
When I remember Calvary
And count the awful cost
I see Him drink the bitter cup
While hanging on the cross
His blood redeemed us from the grave
And by His blood we're kept
I shall forever bless the day
When darkness wept
Would any rise to His defense
Would one man stand alone
They hid their fears like sepulchers
Full of dead men's bones
Their only hope was crucified
Their sorrow knew no depth
As they beheld His broken form
Darkness wept
