(0:01) Walking On the Road To Jerusalem,
\nThe time had come to sacrifice, Again.
\nMy two small sons, They walked beside me down the road,
\nThe reason that they came, Was to watch the lamb.<\/p>\n
(0:31) “Daddy daddy, What will we see there?
\nThere’s so much that we don’t understand,”
\nSo I told them of Moses, And Father Abraham,
\nAnd then I said dear children, “Watch the lamb.
\nThere will be so many, In Jerusalem today,
\nWe must be sure the lamb Doesn’t run away,”
\nAnd I told them of Moses, And Father Abraham,
\nAnd I said “Dear children, Watch the lamb.”<\/p>\n
(1:36) When we reached the city, I knew something must be wrong,
\nThere were no joyful worshippers No joyful worship songs.
\nI stood there, With my children, In the midst of angry men,
\nThen I heard the crowd cry out, “Crucify Him!”<\/p>\n
(2:14) We tried to leave the city, But we could not get away.
\nForced to play in this drama, A part I did not wish to play,
\nWhy upon this day were men condemned to die?
\nWhy were we all standing here, When soon they would pass by?<\/p>\n
(2:47) I looked and said, “Even now they come,”
\nThe first one cried for mercy, The people gave him none.
\nThe second one was violent, He was arrogant and loud,
\nI can still hear his angry voice, Screaming at the crowd.<\/p>\n
(3:20) Then someone said, “There’s Jesus,”
\nI scarce believed my eyes,
\nA man so badly beaten, He barely looked alive.
\nBlood poured from His body, From the thorns on His brow,
\nRunning down the cross, And falling to the ground.
\nI watched as He struggled, I watched Him as He fell,
\nThe cross came down upon His back,
\nAnd the crowd began to yell.<\/p>\n
(4:08) In that moment I felt such agony, In that moment I felt such loss,
\nTill the roman soldier grabbed my arm and screamed,
\n“YOU! Carry his cross!”
\nAt first I tried to resist him,
\nBut his hand reached for his sword,
\nSo I knelt and I took The cross from the Lord.
\nI put it on my shoulders And started down the street
\nThe blood that He’d been shedding,
\nWas running down my cheek.
\nThey led us to Golgatha
\nThey drove nails, Deep in His feet and hands.
\nAnd on the cross, I heard him pray,
\n“Father, forgive them…”<\/p>\n
(5:28) Never have I seen such love In any other eyes
\n“Into thy hands I commit my spirit,”
\nHe prayed, And then He died.
\nI stood for what seemed like years, I lost all sense of time,
\nUntil I felt two tiny hands Holding tight to mine.
\nMy children stood there weeping,
\nAnd I heard the oldest say “Father please forgive us,
\nThe lamb, Ran away.<\/p>\n
(6:32) Daddy daddy, What’ve we seen here,
\nThere’s so much that we don’t understand,”
\nSo I took them in my arms, We turned and faced the cross.
\nAnd I said, “Dear children Watch the lamb.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
