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
For 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
Then 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
And then I heard the crowd cry out,
Crucify him
We tried to reach 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 standing here where soon they would pass by?
I looked and said, even now they come
The first one cried for mercy, the people gave him none
The second one was violent, he was arrogant and loud
I still can hear his angry voice screaming at the crowd
Then someone said there's Jesus and I scarce believed my eyes
A man so badly beaten he barely looked alive
Blood poured from his body from the thorns upon his brow
running down the cross and falling to the ground
I watched him as he struggled I watched him as he fell
The cross came down upon his back, the crowd began to yell
In that moment I felt such agony, in that moment i felt such loss
Until a Roman soldier grabbed my arm and screamed, You, carry his cross!
At first I tried to resist him then his hand reached for his sword
And so I knelt and took the cross from the Lord
Placed it on my shoulder and started down the street
The blood that he'd been shedding was running down my cheek
They led us to Golgotha they drove nails deep in his feet and hands
And yet upon the cross I heard him pray, "Father forgive them"
Oh, 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'd lost all sense of time
Until I felt two tiny hands holding tight to mine
My children stood there weeping, I heard the oldest say
Father please forgive us the Lamb ran away
Daddy, daddy, what have we seen here?
There's so much that we don't understand
So I took them in my arms and we turned and faced the cross
And then I said, Dear children watch the Lamb
