Walking on the to Jerusalem The time had come to again My two small sons, they beside me on the road The reason that they was to watch the lamb
And said, "Daddy, Daddy, what will we see there? so much that we don't understand" And so I them of Moses and father Abraham Then I said, "Dear children, the lamb"
There will be so in Jerusalem today We must be sure the doesn't run away And I told of Moses and father Abraham I said, "Dear children, watch the lamb"
When we reached the city, I knew something be wrong There no joyful worshipers there, no joyful worship songs And I stood with my children in the midst of angry men I heard the crowd cry out, let's crucify Him
We to leave the city but we could not get away to play in this drama, a part I did not wish to play Why upon this day were men condemned to Why were we standing here where soon they pass by?
I looked and said, now they come The first one for mercy, the people gave him none The second one was violent and he was and loud I still here his angry voice at the crowd
Then someone said, "There's Jesus", I believed my eyes A man so badly beaten, He barely looked Blood poured from His body, from the thorns upon His down the Cross, falling to the ground
I watched as He struggled, I watched Him He fell The cross came down upon His back, the began to yell In moment I felt such agony, in that moment I felt such loss Till a Roman soldier grabbed my arm and "You, His cross"
At first I tried to resist him, then his hand reached for his So I knelt and took the Cross the Lord I put it on my and we started down the street The blood that he'd been shedding was running my cheek
They led us to Golgotha, they nails deep in His feet and hands Yet upon the I heard Him pray, "Father, forgive them" Never have I such love in any other eyes "Into Thy I commit my spirit", He prayed and then He died
I stood for what like years, I'd lost all sense of time I felt two little hands holding tight to mine The children stood there weeping, I the oldest say "Father please forgive us, the ran away"
"Daddy, daddy, what we seen here? There's so much that we understand?" So I took them in my arms and we turned and the Cross Then I said, "Dear watch the lamb"
