Crucifixion by Barnabas McKyes — Lyrics
1. Behold the Savior of mankind
Nailed to the shameful tree!
How vast the love that Him inclined
To bleed and die for thee!

About Crucifixion
This anthem by Barnabas McKyes reflects on the profound sacrifice of Christ's crucifixion. The text vividly portrays the suffering of Jesus and the cataclysmic natural events that accompanied his death, such as the shaking of nature and the tearing of the temple veil. McKyes sets this deeply emotional English text for SATB choir, creating a powerful and moving expression of faith and devotion. It's a fitting choice for services or concerts focusing on the Passion narrative, allowing the choir to convey the immense gravity and theological significance of the event.
