They Could Not |
| They looked at Him and saw a simple man |
| A carpenter with healing in His hands |
| They saw Him calm the sea and heal a dying man |
| They saw but could they really understand |
| They could not, they could not |
| Though they tried, they could not |
| He was just a simple carpenter |
| But with healing in His hands |
| But could they really understand, they could not |
| They listened to the teaching that they heard |
| They wondered at the mystery of His word |
| They wondered what He meant, about a Father’s plan |
| They heard but could they really understand |
| They could not, they could not |
| Though they tried, they could not |
| They listened to the teaching about a Father’s plan |
| But could they really understand, they could not |
| So finally upon a rugged cross |
| They killed the man who would not suffer loss |
| And when at last they took what willingly He gave |
| He died, but could they keep Him in the grave |
| They could not, they could not |
| Praise God, they could not |
| And when at last they took from Him |
| What willingly He gave |
| Could they keep Him in the grave |
| Could they keep Him in the grave |
| Could they keep Him in the grave |
| They could not, they could not |
| Praise God, they could not |
| And when at last they took from Him |
| What willingly He gave |
| Could they keep Him in the grave |
| Could they keep Him in the grave |
| Could they keep Him in the grave |
| They could not! |
