Walking on the to Jerusalem The time had come to sacrifice My two small sons, they walk beside me on the 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 Moses and Abraham I said, "Dear children, watch the lamb"
There be so many in Jerusalem today We must be sure the lamb run away And I told them of Moses and Abraham Then I said, "Dear children, the lamb"
When we reached the city, I something must be wrong were no joyful worshipers there, no joyful worship songs And I stood there with my children in the midst of men Then I heard the cry out, let's crucify Him
We tried to leave the city but we not get away Forced to play in this drama, a 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 one was violent and he was arrogant and loud I still here his angry screaming at the crowd
Then someone said, "There's Jesus", I scarce believed my A man so beaten, He barely 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 He fell The cross came upon His back, the crowd began to yell In that moment I felt such agony, in that I felt such loss Till a Roman soldier grabbed my arm and "You, His cross"
At first I tried to him, then his hand reached for his sword So I knelt and took the Cross from the 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 in His feet and hands Yet the Cross I heard Him pray, "Father, forgive them" Never have I seen such love in any other "Into Thy hands I my spirit", He prayed and then He died
I stood for what like years, I'd lost all sense of time Until I two little hands holding tight to mine The children there weeping, I heard the oldest say "Father please forgive us, the ran away"
"Daddy, daddy, what have we here? so much that we don't understand?" So I took them in my arms and we turned and faced the Then I said, "Dear children the lamb"
