They Could Not Lyrics

They Could Not lyrics

They looked at Him and saw a single man
A carpenter with healing in His
hands
They saw Him calm a sea and heal a dying man
They saw but could
they really understand

They could not, They could not
Though they
tried, they could not
He was just a simple carpenter but with healing in His
hands
But could they really understand, they could not

They listened
to the teaching that they heard
They wondered at the mystery of His
word
They wondered what He meant, about a Father's plan
They heard but
could they really understand

They could not, They could not
Though
they tried, they could not
They listened to the teaching about a Father's
plan
But could they really understand, they could not

So finally upon
a rugged cross
They killed the man who would not suffer loss
And when at
last they took what willingly He gave
He died, but could they keep Him in
the grave

They could not, They could not
Praise God, they could
not
And when at last they took from Him what willingly He gave
Could they
keep Him in the grave, could they keep Him in the grave,
Could they keep Him
in the grave...

They could not, They could not
Praise God, they could
not
And when at last they took from Him what willingly He gave
Could they
keep Him in the grave, could they keep Him in the grave,
Could they keep Him
in the grave,  They could not!!!!
