The Stanley Brothers had a whole BUNCH of Gospel songs; one sticks in mind as covering the whole Passion in three verses and chorus. Starts out: One morning in Jerusalem, about the break of dawn A great trial was in session, they tried the blessed Lord They scorned him and they mocked him, they made him carry the cross On top of Calv'ry mountain, there they crucified my Lord Oh the cry (oh the cry) from the cross (from the cross) Forgive them, blessed Father, he cried from the cross, Oh the cry (oh the cry) from the cross (from the cross) The son of God was drying to save the world from loss Don't quite know how to track it down but I remember it well (obviously)
