C5              G5         A5     A5
Walking on the road to Jerusalem
F5                    G5          C5
The time had come to sacrifice again
             G5          A5                      A5
My two small sons, they walked beside me on the road
    F5                     G5                C5
The reason that they came was to watch the Lamb


       G5               A5     A5
Daddy, daddy what will we see there?
F5                    G5             C5
There's so much that we don't understand
                  G5         A5         A5
So I told them of Moses and Father Abraham
    F5                 G5                  C5
And then I said, Dear children watch the lamb


A5                   A5       F5       A5
For there will be so many in Jerusalem today
                    A5      F5       G5
We must be sure the Lamb doesn't run away
      C5            G5         A5         A5
And I told them of Moses and Father Abraham
F5                 G5                  C5
Then I said, Dear children watch the Lamb


                    G5           A5                A5
When we reached the city I knew something must be wrong
F5                    G5                               C5
There were no joyful worshippers no joyful worship songs
                      G5               A5             A5
I stood there with my children in the midst of angry men
           F5                   A5
And then I heard the crowd cry out, 
        G5
Crucify him


A5                    A5       F5
We tried to reach the city, but we could not get away
A5                     A5      F5                      A5
Forced to play in this drama, a part I did not wish to play
                                        G5
Why upon this day were men condemned to die?
A5                   A5  G5                          F5      
Why were we standing here where soon they would pass by?


C5            G5     A5            A5
I looked and said, even now they come
F5                       G5      C5
The first one cried for mercy, the people gave him none
                   G5               A5           A5
The second one was violent, he was arrogant and loud
            F5                    G5                C5
I still can hear his angry voice screaming at the crowd


A5                        A5         F5     
Then someone said there's Jesus and I scarce believed my eyes
                      F5                A5
A man so badly beaten he barely looked alive

Blood poured from his body from the thorns upon his brow
                                          
running down the cross and falling to the ground


                    G5         A5                  A5
I watched him as he struggled I watched him as he fell
F5                            G5                        C5
The cross came down upon his back, the crowd began to yell
                           G5              A5                 A5
In that moment I felt such agony, in that moment i felt such loss
F5                             G5                    C5    A5        G5
Until a Roman soldier grabbed my arm and screamed, You, carry his cross!


A5                         A5               F5     
At first I tried to resist him then his hand reached for his sword
         A5        A5      F5
And so I knelt and took the cross from the Lord
G5                            C5                G5
Placed it on my shoulder and started down the street
    A5                      A5   F5
The blood that he'd been shedding was running down my cheek


C5              G5                   A5                         A5
They led us to Golgotha they drove nails deep in his feet and hands
    F5                                     G5              C5
And yet upon the cross I heard him pray, "Father forgive them"
C5                     G5         A5           A5
Oh, never have I seen such love in any other eyes 
         F5                        G5                     C5
Into thy hands I commit my spirit he prayed and then he died


A5                           A5            F5
I stood for what seemed like years I'd lost all sense of time
A5                          F5                A5
Until I felt two tiny hands holding tight to mine
C5                       G5
My children stood there weeping, I heard the oldest say
                         F5        G5   C5
Father please forgive us the Lamb ran away


       G5                A5      A5
Daddy, daddy, what have we seen here? 
F5                    G5             C5
There's so much that we don't understand
                     G5           A5                   A5
So I took them in my arms and we turned and faced the cross
    F5                 G5                  C5
And then I said, Dear children watch the Lamb
