Josh Garrels - Good Friday Lyrics






Broken wing, forgotten dream, shattered thing
That a mans hands can't ever truly mend

Shadow land, desert sand, a man searches
For a love that'll never die

Truth be known, you're not alone
Your aching bones will find a home
In place where God he sets us free

Wake me up before you go
I will listen for the sound of your voice

Hear the wind in the trees
It goes where it please
Like the breath in me

And all who have breath can sing

When we layed your body down
In earth and in the ground
Oh child, rest your soul.

Will a hope be made good
When a word is understood
In the day, will we see you again?

Gather round, hear the sound
Of a story that's so old that it's been told
Before time

He was born in the flesh and the blood
In a world that was dark as hell, and dead in sin

Born of the spirit, and the virgin child
He's the son of God, son of man

I didn't recognize that look in his eyes
When they cried
With a sorrow that no man has ever known

Hang him high, watch him die, hear the cry
Crucified up on that God forsaken tree

And all who have breath can sing

When we layed your body down
In the earth and in the ground
Oh Lord, rest your bones

Will a hope be made good
If your words are understood
In the day, will we see you again

Oh Eloi, Eloi, lama sabacthani?
Oh my God, my God, why have you forsaken me?

Oh Eloi, Eloi, lama sabacthani?
Oh my God, my God, why have you forsaken me?

Josh Garrels Good Friday Comments
  1. W.... M....

    This is one of the first songs I ever heard from Josh. Still great.

  2. D.... H....

    Love Psalm 22. He went through a real tough thing for us. Victorious in the end.

  3. o.... ....

    Huh. Weird... the only accurate use of the "God-forsaken" is on the cross when Jesus cries out because God turned His face away... and even there, God was ON that cross. Way crazy.

    Broken wing, forgotten dream, shattered thing 
    That a mans hands can’t ever truly mend 

    Shadow land, desert sand, a man searches 
    For a love that’ll never die 

    Truth be known, you’re not alone 
    Your aching bones will find a home 
    In place where God he sets us free 

    Wake me up before you go 
    I will listen for the sound of your voice 

    Hear the wind in the trees 
    It goes where it please 
    Like the breath in me 

    And all who have breath can sing 

    When we layed your body down 
    In earth and in the ground 
    Oh child, rest your soul. 

    Will a hope be made good 
    When a word is understood 
    In the day, will we see you again? 

    Gather round, hear the sound 
    Of a story that’s so old that it’s been told 
    Before time 

    He was born in the flesh and the blood 
    In a world that was dark as hell, and dead in sin 

    Born of the spirit, and the virgin child 
    He’s the son of God, son of man 

    I didn’t recognize that look in his eyes 
    When they cried 
    With a sorrow that no man has ever known 

    Hang him high, watch him die, hear the cry 
    Crucified up on that God forsaken tree 

    And all who have breath can sing 

    When we layed your body down 
    In the earth and in the ground 
    Oh Lord, rest your bones 

    Will a hope be made good 
    If your words are understood 
    In the day, will we see you again 

    Oh Eloi, Eloi, lama sabacthani? 
    Oh my God, my God, why have you forsaken me? 

    Oh Eloi, Eloi, lama sabacthani? 
    Oh my God, my God, why have you forsaken me?

  5. B.... A....

    That's real man. Lay it on heavy. There's no need to beat around it. He did it for us all. Jesus I'm coming. Praise your name and your relentless love.

  6. C.... B....

    God bless Josh Garrels and his anointing.

  7. C.... R....

    Absolutely incredible! Josh and his band are in their very own category of praise/music. I hope Josh comes to Ohio someday!

  9. C.... J....

    Song speaks the truth and so deep.

  10. J.... M....

    ahhhh!!!!! this song is so haunting, but so beautiful!

  11. D.... H....

    If yall dont know of "Sons of Korah", you should check them out. They were on the scene 10 or 15 years ago. I believe from Australia. Pretty much all Psalms to their music.

  12. Z.... R....

    Who the hell would dislike this? 😫

    Z.... R....

    Zechariah Rogers only not Christian

    Z.... R....

    Zechariah Rogers remember we are chosen only called to God by God himself ! The world won’t understand

  13. Z.... R....

    Why he isn't he on radio? Oh yea, because what's played on the radio is 'music.'

    Z.... R....

    +Zechariah Rogers Unfortunately, the vast majority of faith-based radio stations have extremely limited views on music, throttling it to the sounds of certain Newsboys and Tenth Avenue North songs. I have heard "Fire by Night" once on a local station here in Minnesota though.

    Z.... R....

    Zechariah Rogers not to mention, people who are in the radio 99% of the time made a deal with the devil for their rich and fame. To make it in main stream at some point everyone has to sell their soul to the devil. Hollywood is infested with evil and wicked people. Yet the world loves them. If the world loves you then you are part of the world. If the world does not love you then you are not part of the world. Let us rejoice josh isn’t mainstream and on the radio. He isn’t a sell out and one of the few people I even listen to these days.

  14. J.... B....
