Walking on the road to The time had to sacrifice again My two small sons, they walk me on the road The reason that came was to watch the lamb
And said, "Daddy, Daddy, what will we see there? There's so that we don't understand" And so I told them of and father Abraham I said, "Dear children, watch the lamb"
There will be so many in today We be sure the lamb doesn't run away And I them of Moses and father Abraham Then I said, "Dear children, the lamb"
When we reached the city, I knew something be wrong There were no joyful worshipers there, no worship songs And I stood there my children in the midst of angry men Then I heard the crowd cry out, let's Him
We tried to the city but we could not get away to play in this drama, a part I did not wish to play Why this day were men condemned to die? Why were we standing here soon they would pass by?
I looked and said, even now come The first one cried for mercy, the people gave him The second one was violent and he was and loud I here his angry voice screaming at the crowd
Then someone said, "There's Jesus", I scarce believed my A man so badly beaten, He barely alive poured from His body, from the thorns upon His brow Running down the Cross, to the ground
I watched as He struggled, I watched Him He fell The cross came down upon His back, the crowd to yell In that moment I felt such agony, in that moment I such loss Till a soldier grabbed my arm and screamed "You, His cross"
At first I tried to resist him, his hand reached for his sword So I knelt and the Cross from the Lord I put it on my shoulder and we down the street The blood that he'd been shedding was down my cheek
They led us to Golgotha, they drove nails in His feet and hands Yet upon the I heard Him pray, "Father, forgive them" have I seen such love in any other eyes "Into Thy hands I commit my spirit", He prayed and He died
I stood for what seemed like years, I'd lost all sense of Until I felt two hands holding tight to mine The stood there weeping, I heard the oldest say "Father forgive us, the lamb ran away"
"Daddy, daddy, what have we here? There's so much we don't understand?" So I them in my arms and we turned and faced the Cross I said, "Dear children watch the lamb"
