Walking on the to Jerusalem The had come to sacrifice again My two small sons, they beside me on the road The reason that came was to watch the lamb
And they said, "Daddy, Daddy, what we see there? There's so much that we understand" And so I told them of and father Abraham Then I said, "Dear children, the lamb"
There be so many in Jerusalem today We must be sure the lamb doesn't run And I them of Moses and father Abraham Then I said, "Dear children, the lamb"
When we reached the city, I knew something must be There were no worshipers there, no joyful worship songs And I there 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 Forced to 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 would pass by?
I looked and said, even now come The first one cried for mercy, the people him none The one was violent and he was arrogant and loud I still here his voice screaming at the crowd
someone said, "There's Jesus", I scarce believed my eyes A man so badly beaten, He looked alive poured from His body, from the thorns upon His brow Running down the Cross, to the ground
I watched as He struggled, I Him when He fell The cross down upon His back, the crowd began to yell In that I felt such agony, in that moment I felt 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 took the from the Lord I put it on my shoulder and we down the street The blood he'd been shedding was running down my cheek
led us to Golgotha, they drove nails deep in His feet and hands Yet upon the I heard Him pray, "Father, forgive them" Never have I seen such love in any other "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 children there weeping, I heard the oldest say "Father please us, the lamb ran away"
"Daddy, daddy, what have we here? There's so much that we understand?" So I took them in my and we turned and faced the Cross Then I said, "Dear watch the lamb"
