Walking on the to Jerusalem The time had to sacrifice again My two small sons, they walk me on the road The reason that they came was to the lamb
And said, "Daddy, Daddy, what will we see there? There's so much that we understand" And so I told them of Moses and Abraham I said, "Dear children, watch the lamb"
There will be so in Jerusalem today We must be sure the lamb doesn't run And I told them of Moses and father I said, "Dear children, watch the lamb"
When we reached the city, I knew must be wrong There were no joyful there, no joyful worship songs And I stood there my children in the midst of angry men Then I the crowd cry out, let's crucify Him
We tried to leave the city but we could not get Forced to play in this drama, a part I did not to play Why upon day were men condemned to die? Why were we here where soon they would pass by?
I looked and said, even now they The first one cried for mercy, the gave him none The second one was violent and he was and loud I still here his voice screaming at the crowd
Then someone said, "There's Jesus", I scarce my eyes A man so badly beaten, He barely looked poured from His body, from the thorns upon His brow Running the Cross, falling to the ground
I watched as He struggled, I watched Him He fell The came down upon His back, the crowd began to yell In that 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 the Cross from 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 drove nails deep in His and hands Yet upon the Cross I Him pray, "Father, forgive them" Never have I seen love in any other eyes "Into Thy hands I commit my spirit", He and then He died
I stood for what seemed like years, I'd lost all sense of Until I two little hands holding tight to mine The children stood there weeping, I heard the say "Father please forgive us, the ran away"
"Daddy, daddy, what have we seen so much that we don't understand?" So I took them in my arms and we turned and faced the Then I said, "Dear watch the lamb"
