G D Em Em7
Walking on the road to Jerusalem,
C D G
The time had come to sacrifice again,
G D Em Em7
My two small sons, They walk beside me on the road,
C D G
The reason that they came was to watch the lamb.
G D Em Em7
Daddy, daddy, what will we see there,
C D G
There's so much that we don't understand,
G D Em Em7
So I told them of Moses and Father Abraham,
C D G
Then I said dear children watch the lamb,
G D Em Em7
When we reached the city, I knew something must be wrong,
C D C D
There were no joyful worshipers there, No joyful worship songs,
G D Em Em7
I stood there with my children in the midst of angry men,
C Em
Then I heard the crowd cry out
D
Let's Crucify Him.
Em Em7 C
We tried to leave the city, but we could not get away,
Em Em7 C
Forced to play in this drama, a part I did not want to play,
Am C D
Why upon this day were men condemned to die,
Am Am7 D
Why were we standing here, Where soon they would pass by.
G D Em Em7
I looked and said, even now they come,
C D C D
The first one cried for mercy, The people gave him none,
G D Em Em7
The second one was violent, He was arrogant and loud,
C D C D
I still hear his angry voice, screaming at the crowd,
Em Em7 C
Then someone said there's Jesus, I scarce believed my eyes,
Em Em7 C
A man so badly beaten, He barely looked alive,
Am C D
Blood poured from His body, From the thorns upon His brow,
Am C D
Running down the cross, Falling to the ground.
G D Em Em7
I watched Him as He struggled, I watched Him as He fell,
C D C D
The cross came down upon His back, The crowd began to yell,
G D Em Em7
In that moment I felt such agony, In that moment I felt such loss,
C D Am Em D
Till a Roman soldier grabbed my arm and screamed, "You, carry His cross!"
Em Em7 C
At first I tried to resist him, Then his hand reached for his sword,
Em Em7 C
So I knelt and took, the cross from the Lord,
Am C D
I put it on my shoulder, And started down the street,
Am C D
The blood that he'd been shedding, was running down my cheek.
G D Em Em7
They led us to Golgotha, They drove nails deep in His feet and hands,
C D C G
Yet upon the cross I heard Him pray "Father, forgive them."
G D Em Em7
Oh, never have I seen such love in any other eyes,
C D C G
Into thy hands I commit my spirit, He prayed and then He died,
Em Em7 C
I stood for what seemed like years, I'd lost all sense of time
Em Em7 C
until I felt two tiny hands, holding tight to mine,
Am C D
The children stood there weeping, I heard the oldest say,
Am D G
Father please forgive us, the lamb ran away.
G D Em Em7
Daddy, daddy, what have we seen here,
C D G
There's so much that we don't understand,
G D Em Em7
So I took them in my arms and we turned and faced the cross,
C D G
Then I said dear children watch the lamb,
