Watch The Lamb Lyrics

Watch The Lamb lyrics

Walking On the Road
To Jerusalem,
The time had come to
sacrifice,
Again,
My two small sons,
They walked beside me down the
road,
The reason that they came,
Was to watch the lamb...
And they
said,
"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 I said dear children,
"Watch the lamb....
There will
be so many,
In Jerusalem today,
We must be sure this little
lamb,
Doesn't run away,"
And I told them of Moses,
And Father
Abraham,
And I said "Dear children,
Watch the lamb...."
When
we reached the city,
I knew something must be wrong,
There were no joyful
worshippers there,
No joyful worship songs,
And I stood there,
With my
children,
In the midst of angry men,
Then I heard a crowd cry
out,
"Let's Crucify Him!"
We tried to leave the city,
But we
could not get away,
Forced to play in this drama,
A part i did not want to
play,
Why upon this day were men condemned to die,
Why were we standing
right here,
Where soon they would pass by,
I looked and I
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 can still hear his angry voice,
Screaming at the
crowd,
Then someone said,
"There's Jesus,"
I scarce believed
my eyes,
A man so badly beaten,
He barely looked alive,
Blood poured
from His body,
From the thorns on His brow,
Running down the
cross,
And falling to the ground,
I watched as He struggled,
And I
watched Him when He fell,
The cross came down upon His back,
And the
crowd began to yell,
In that moment I felt such agony,
In that moment I
felt such loss,
Till the roman soldier grabbed my arm and
screamed,
"YOU! Carry his cro-----------ss!"
At first I tried
to resist him,
But his hand reached for his sword,
So I knelt and I
took
The cross from the Lord
I put it on my shoulders
We started down
the street
And the blood that He'd been shedding,
Was running down my
cheeck...
They led us to Golgatha
They drove nails,
Deep in His feet
and hands,
And on the cross,
I heard him pray,
"Father, forgive
them..."
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 lost all sense of time,
Then I felt
two tiny hands
Holding tight to mine
My children stood there
weeping,
And I heard the oldest say
"Father please forgive
us,
The lamb,
Ran away...
Daddy daddy,
What've we seen
here,
There's so much that we don't understand,"
So I took them in
my arms,
We turned and faced the cross
And I said
"Dear
children
Watch the----- la-----mb..."
