Ray Boltz - Watch the lamb

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

^CDaddy, ^Gdaddy what will ^Amwe see ^Am7there? ^FThere's so much that ^Gwe don't under^Cstand ^CSo 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 today ^AmWe must be ^Am7sure the Lamb ^Fdoesn't run a^Gway And I ^Ctold them of ^GMoses and ^AmFather Abra^Am7ham ^FThen I said, Dear ^Gchildren watch the ^CLamb

^CWhen we reached the ^Gcity I knew ^Amsomething must be ^Am7wrong ^FThere were no joyful ^Gworshippers ^Fno joyful worship ^Gsongs I ^Cstood there with my ^Gchildren in the ^Ammidst of angry ^Am7men ^FAnd then I heard the crowd cry out,^{Dm Dm}Crucify ^Ghim

^AmWe tried to leave the ^Am7city, but we ^Fcould not get away ^AmForced to play in this ^Am7drama, a part I ^Fdid not wish to play ^DmWhy upon this day were ^Gmen condemned to die? ^DmWhy were we standing here where ^Gsoon they would pass by?

^CI looked and ^Gsaid, ^Ameven now they ^Am7come ^FThe first one cried for ^Gmercy, ^Fthe people gave him none^{G C}The second one was ^Gviolent, he was ^Amarrogant and ^Am7loud ^FI still can hear his ^Gangry voice^F screaming at the ^Gcrowd

Then ^Amsomeone said there's J^Am7esus ^Fand I scarce believed my eyes ^AmA man so badly beaten^F he barely looked alive ^DmBlood poured from his body from the ^Gthorns upon his brow ^Dmrunning down the cross^G and falling to the ground

I ^Cwatched him as he ^Gstruggled ^AmI watched him as he ^Am7fell ^FThe cross came down ^Gupon his back,^F the crowd began to ^Gyell In that ^Cmoment I felt such ^Gagony, in that ^Ammoment i felt such ^Am7loss ^FUntil a Roman soldier grabbed ^Gmy arm and screamed^Dm, You, carry his^G cross!

^AmAt first I tried to res^Am7ist him then his ^Fhand reached for his sword ^AmAnd so I knelt and ^Am7took the ^Fcross from the Lord ^DmPlaced it on my shoulder^G and started down the street ^DmThe blood that he'd been shedding^G was running down my cheek

They ^Cled us to Gol^Ggotha 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 ^FInto thy hands I com^Gmit my spirit he ^Fprayed and then he ^Cdied

^AmI stood for what seemed like ^Am7years I'd lost ^Fall sense of time ^AmUntil I felt two tiny hands^F holding tight to mine ^DmMy children stood there weeping^G, I heard the oldest say ^DmFather please forgive us the ^FLamb^G ran a^Cway

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