Ray Boltz - Watch the lamb

^CWalking on the ^Groad to Je^Amrusalem^{Am7 F}The time had come to ^Gsacrifice a^Cgain My two small ^Gsons, they ^Amwalked beside me on the ^Am7road The ^Freason that they came ^Gwas to watch the ^CLamb

Daddy, ^Gdaddy what will ^Amwe see ^Am7there' ^FThere's so much that ^Gwe don't under^Cstand So I told them of ^GMoses and ^AmFather Abra^Am7ham And ^Fthen I said, Dear ^Gchildren watch the ^Clamb

^AmFor there will be so ^Am7many in Je^Frusalem ^Amtoday We must be sure the ^Am7Lamb does^Fn't run ^Gaway And I ^Ctold them of ^GMoses and ^AmFather Abra^Am7ham ^FThen I said, Dear ^Gchildren watch the ^CLamb

When we reached the ^Gcity I knew ^Amsomething must be ^Am7wrong ^FThere were no joyful ^Gworshippers no joyful worship so^Cngs I stood there with my ^Gchildren in the ^Ammidst of angry ^Am7men And then I ^Fheard the crowd cry ^Amout, Crucify ^Ghim

^AmWe tried to reach the ^Am7city, but ^Fwe could not get away ^AmForced to play in this ^Am7drama, a ^Fpart I did not wish to ^Amplay Why upon this day were men condemned to ^Gdie' ^AmWhy were we standing ^Am7here ^Gwhere soon they would pass ^Fby'

^CI looked and ^Gsaid, ^Ameven now they ^Am7come ^FThe first one cried for ^Gmercy, ^Cthe people gave him none The second one was ^Gviolent, he was ^Amarrogant and ^Am7loud I still can ^Fhear his angry voice ^Gscreaming at the ^Ccrowd

^AmThen someone said there's ^Am7Jesus and I ^Fscarce believed my eyes A man so badly beaten ^Fhe barely looked ^Amalive

I watched him as he ^Gstruggled ^AmI watched him as he ^Am7fell ^FThe cross came down upon his ^Gback, the crowd began to ^Cyell In that moment I felt such ^Gagony, in that ^Ammoment i felt such ^Am7loss ^FUntil a Roman soldier grabbed ^Gmy arm and screamed, ^CYou, ^Amcarry his ^Gcross!

^AmAt first I tried to resist ^Am7him then his hand ^Freached for his sword And so I ^Amknelt and ^Am7took the ^Fcross from the Lord ^GPlaced it on my shoulder and ^Cstarted down the ^Gstreet The ^Amblood that he'd been she^Am7dding ^Fwas running down my cheek

^CThey led us to ^GGolgotha they drove ^Amnails deep in his feet and ^Am7hands And ^Fyet upon the cross I heard him pray, &^Gquot;Father for^Cgive them" ^COh, never have I seen ^Gsuch love ^Amin any other ^Am7eyes Into thy ^Fhands I commit my spirit ^Ghe prayed and then he ^Cdied

^AmI stood for what seemed like ^Am7years I'd lost ^Fall sense of time ^AmUntil I felt two tiny hands ^Fholding tight to ^Am7mine ^CMy children stood there ^Gweeping, I heard the oldest say Father please forgive us ^Fthe Lamb ^Gran ^Caway

Daddy, ^Gdaddy, what have ^Amwe seen ^Am7here' ^FThere's so much that ^Gwe don't under^Cstand So I took them in my ^Garms and we ^Amturned and faced the ^Am7cross And ^Fthen I said, Dear ^Gchildren watch the ^CLamb
