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 here his angry voice, screaming at the crowd, [ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/r/ray-boltz/206065.html ] 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 forms 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 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, |
