On the hill of Calvary
Refers to the location where Jesus was crucified, which is the ultimate symbol of love and sacrifice.

The Light of all the world

A Holy surrender

The sky went dark
The darkness that descended upon the earth when Jesus was crucified is symbolic of the weight and gravity of His sacrifice.

The Angels wept

The Father looked away
When Jesus took on the sins of humanity, it caused a temporary separation between Him and God the Father, which was a great sorrow for both of them.

The final breath

He bowed His head
When Jesus died, it demonstrated His submission to God the Father's will and His love for humanity.

The lamb of God was slain

By His wounds I am set free

By His blood I've been redeemed

Into the Father's hands
