Walking on the to Jerusalem The time had come to again My two small sons, they walk beside me on the The reason that came was to watch the lamb
And they said, "Daddy, Daddy, what we see there? so much that we don't understand" And so I told them of Moses and father Then I said, "Dear children, the lamb"
There will be so in Jerusalem today We must be the lamb doesn't run away And I told them of Moses and Abraham I said, "Dear children, watch the lamb"
When we the city, I knew something must be wrong There were no joyful there, no joyful worship songs And I stood there with my children in the midst of men Then I heard the crowd cry out, let's Him
We tried to leave the but we could not get away Forced to in this drama, a part I did not wish to play Why upon day were men condemned to die? Why were we standing here where soon they pass by?
I looked and said, even now they The one cried for mercy, the people gave him none The one was violent and he was arrogant and loud I still his angry voice screaming at the crowd
Then said, "There's Jesus", I scarce believed my eyes A man so badly beaten, He looked alive Blood poured from His body, from the thorns His brow Running down the Cross, falling to the
I watched as He struggled, I watched Him when He The cross came down His back, the crowd began to yell In that moment I felt such agony, in that moment I such loss a Roman soldier grabbed my arm and screamed "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 shoulder and we started down the The blood he'd been shedding was running down my cheek
They led us to Golgotha, drove nails deep in His feet 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 prayed and He died
I stood for what seemed like years, I'd all sense of time Until I felt two 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 here? There's so much that we understand?" So I took them in my arms and we and faced the Cross Then I said, "Dear children the lamb"
