They Didn't Know Lyrics - Kurt Carr

(Choir) 

Jerusalem on a dusty road 

An innocent man condemned to death 

Bore a cross on his shoulders 

they didn't know 

Down the via dolorosa 

He staggered in agony 

As he looked upon the hatred 

In the eyes of his own seed 

They didn't know 

(Lead) 

They didn't know 

He was enduring this for them 

So they could live forever more 

In paradise with him 

They didn't know one day they'd sing his praise 

With fear and trembling 

They didn't recognize the king that kings called king 

(Choir) 

He didn't have to die for me 

He could have just set himself free 

He could have come down from the cross at Calvary 

(Lead) 

But instead He was wounded for our transgressions 

and He was bruised for our iniquity
