Centurion! Centurion! You spoke the truth, unflawed. As you have rightly said of Him, He is the Son of God! 

Verse 1

He was a fierce centurion; A fearless man, and strong. He watched the Lord as He was scourged And taunted by a throng. And when he looked upon the Lord, Who owned no earthly thing, He thought this man must be a fraud Who claimed to be a king.

Verse 2

Unmoved, he watched them drive the nails, And lift Him up in pain. He felt no mercy for the Lord, And shared the mob's disdain. But when he heard that loving pray'r To par-don those who jeered, He knew the scene before his eyes Was not as it appeared.
