Cat. #1152 (MFH #803) - As sung by Ollie Gilbert, Mountain View, Arkansas on July 15, 1970
VERSE 1
Love like this was never known
Though you search the whole world 'round
Jesus died for his own
Just as th sun went down
CHORUS:
Just as th evenin' sun was sinkin' in th golden west
Hangin' between two thieves
They crucfied th Son of God
Mocked by th multitudes
They places on Him a thorny crown
Love like this was never known
Jesus died for His own
Just as th sun went down
VERSE 2
In Shamare He was tried
Have no use for Him, they cried
The mob, He was crucyfied
Just as th sun went down
