They Didn`t Know Lyrics

They Didn`t Know lyrics

(Choir)

Jerusalem on a dusty road 

An innocent man condemned to death 

Bore a cross on his shoulders

they didn’t know

Down the via dolorosa

He staggered in agony

As he looked upon the hatred

In the eyes of his own seed

They didn't know



(Lead)

They didn't know 

He was enduring this for them

So they could live forever more

In paradise with him

They didn’t know one day they'd sing his praise

With fear and trembling

They didn't recognize the king that kings called king



(Choir)

He didn't have to die for me 

He could have just set himself free

He could have come down from the cross at Calvary



(Lead)

But instead He was wounded for our transgressions

and He was bruised for our iniquity



(Choir)

And by his strife we are healed

oh what an awesome price He paid for me

The hung him high

And stretched him wide

They nailed his hands and feet

And pierced him in the side

They didn't know

Look at my savior hanging there

Suffering, bleeding, dying for me and you

Oh Jesus never said a mumbling word but father they know not what they do

And He bowed his head, hung his head and He died (2x)

My Jesus bowed his head hung his head and He died(2x)

But on the third day

On the third day (2x)

Jesus rose

He rose (3x)

Jesus rose

Victoriously 

Triumphantly

With authority

He rose

Rose (2x)

He rose
