Crucifiction |
Well, I done died one time |
And I ain’t gonna die no more |
Well, I done died one time |
And I ain’t gonna die no more |
Oh, glory, glory, hallelujah I done died one time |
And I ain’t gonna die no more |
And the time that the Lord, with the disciples, set down and talked with them |
at the table. |
They were eating their last Passover together with one another. |
Said, «Out of you twelve, gonna be one that betray me.» |
They were all sitting |
down there, enjoying themselves… That broke up their appetite because they |
didn’t know who it was, you know. |
They begin to talk one to another. |
Wanted to know who it was. |
Some got so worried about the thing, said «let's ask him». |
One of them said «you ask him, maybe he’ll tell you». |
They were all troubled, you know. |
A great table before them and they couldn’t |
eat. |
Their appetite was gone. |
So, after a while, one went to him and asked him. |
I hear one of 'em asked him something like this, you know. |
«Who is it»? |
He said, «The one you see me give something out of the dish, that’ll be the |
one that betray me.» |
So they watched, to see who it was. |
While they were |
watching, it give them a better appetite to eat, you know. |
Tell me my Lord |
spoken these words like this. |
Let me see what my Lord said: |
It’d been good if that man had not been born |
It’d been good if that man had not been born |
Oh, glory, glory, hallelujah |
It’d been good if that man had not been born |
So he said to his disciples, «In a while, I’ll be with you. |
In a while, |
I’ll be gone.» |
While he’s settin' there talking, Peter began to understand |
this conversation, you know. |
He broke down and commenced to crying. |
I heard him say to him: |
I will follow you, Lord, wheresoever you go |
I will follow you, Lord, wheresoever you go |
Oh, glory, glory, hallelujah |
Lord, I’ll follow you wheresoever you go |
I heard my Lord say: |
I’m going where you cannot go, oooh |
I’m going where you cannot go |
Oh, glory, oh, glory, hallelujah |
Oh, Peter, I’m going where you cannot go |
Peter made up his mind and he decided to go, anyhow. |
My Lord said, «Before the cock crows thrice, you will deny me.» |
Said, «No, Lord, |
I’ll prove to you that I’m a man… I’ll fight for you. |
I will die for you». |
So he knowed that Peter didn’t understand. |
Tell me that they brought them all |
the way to Jerusalem to try him. |
They were standing around the fire, warming, |
waiting for the courtroom to open. |
When the courtroom open, tell me they got |
my Lord in your guard. |
Set him down. |
Put him on the front row. |
And they tell me |
he was seeking for witnesses: |
There was not a man to be found |
There was not a man to be found |
Oh, glory, glory, hallelujah |
Oh, there was not a man to be found |
And they smoted my Lord across the head with a reed |
And they smoted my Lord across the head with a reed |
Oh, glory be to God, hallelujah |
Well, they smoted my Lord across the head with a reed |
Planted seventy two thorns and placed them on his head |
Planted seventy two thorns and placed them on his head |
Oh, glory be to God, hallelujah |
Planted seventy two thorns and placed them on my Lord’s head |
And they put him down and chosen him a tomb |
Hey, put him down and chosen him a tomb |
Oh, glory be to God, hallelujah |
Oh, they put my Lord down and chosen him a tomb |
Just before they got ready to put him down, he’s sitting out there before |
Pilate. |
And they tell me, Pilate’s wife said to him, «If you have anything to |
do with that man, I’m going to leave you.» |
So, natural that a man don’t want |
his wife to leave him. |
He didn’t want to be guilty of an innocent man. |
I heard him calling: |
Bring me a basin of water to wash my hands |
Bring me a basin of water to wash my hands |
Oh, glory be to God, hallelujah |
Oh, bring me a basin of water to wash my hands |
And I don’t want to be guilty of a innocent man |
Don’t want to be guilty of a innocent man |
Oh, glory be to God, hallelujah |
Oh, don’t want to be guilty of a innocent man |
Talk to me, then… |
