Watch the Lamb |
Walking on the road |
To Jerusalem |
The time had come to sacrifice |
Again |
My two small sons |
They walked beside me on the road |
The reason that they came |
Was to watch the lamb |
«Daddy Daddy |
What will we see there? |
There’s so much that we don’t understand» |
So I told them of Moses |
And Father Abraham |
And then I said dear children |
«Watch the Lamb» |
There will be so many |
In Jerusalem today |
We must be sure the lamb |
Doesn’t run away" |
And I told them of Moses |
And Father Abraham |
And I said «Dear children |
Watch the lamb» |
When we reached the city |
I knew something must be wrong |
There were no joyful worshippers |
No joyful worship songs |
I stood there |
With my children |
In the midst of angry men |
Then I heard the crowd cry out |
«Crucify Him!» |
We tried to leave the city |
But we could not get away |
Forced to play in this drama |
A part I did not wish to play |
Why upon this day were men condemned to die? |
Why were we all standing here |
When soon they would pass by? |
I looked and said |
«Even now they come,» |
The first one pleaded for mercy |
The people gave him none |
The second one was violent |
He was arrogant and loud |
I can still hear his angry voice |
Screaming at the crowd |
Then someone said |
«There's Jesus,» |
I scarce believed my eyes |
A man so badly beaten |
He barely looked alive |
Blood poured from His body |
From the thorns on His brow |
Running down the cross |
And falling to the ground |
I watched as He struggled |
I watched Him as He fell |
The cross came down upon His back |
And the crowd began to yell |
In that moment I felt such agony |
In that moment I felt such loss |
Till the roman soldier grabbed my arm and screamed |
«YOU! |
Carry his cross!» |
At first I tried to resist him |
But his hand reached for his sword |
So I knelt and I took |
The cross from the Lord |
I put it on my shoulders |
And started down the street |
The blood that He’d been shedding |
Was running down my cheek |
They led us to Golgatha |
They drove nails |
Deep in His feet and hands |
And on the cross |
I heard him pray |
«Father, forgive them…» |
Never have I seen such love |
In any other eyes |
«Into thy hands I commit my spirit,» |
He prayed |
And then He died |
I stood for what seemed like years |
I lost all sense of time |
Until I felt two tiny hands |
Holding tight to mine |
My children stood there weeping |
And I heard the oldest say |
«Father please forgive us |
The lamb |
Ran away |
Daddy Daddy |
What’ve we seen here |
There’s so much that we don’t understand," |
So I took them in my arms |
We turned and faced the cross |
And I said |
«Dear children |
Watch the Lamb» |
