Watch The Lamb Lyrics - Singles - Ray Boltz

Walking on the road to Jerusalem 

The time had come to sacrifice again 

My two small sons, they walk beside me on the road 

The reason that they came was to watch the lamb 

And they said, "Daddy, Daddy, what will we see there? 

There's so much that we don't understand" 

And so I told them of Moses and father Abraham 

Then I said, "Dear children, watch the lamb" 

There will be so many in Jerusalem today 

We must be sure the lamb doesn't run away 

And I told them of Moses and father Abraham 

Then I said, "Dear children, watch the lamb" 

When we reached the city, I knew something must be wrong 

There were no joyful worshipers there, no joyful worship songs 

And I stood there with my children in the midst of angry men 

Then I heard the crowd cry out, let's crucify Him 

We tried to leave the city but we could not get away 

Forced to play in this drama, a part I did not wish to play 

Why upon this day were men condemned to die? 

Why were we standing here where soon they would pass by? 

I looked and said, even now they come 

The first one cried for mercy, the people gave him none 

The second one was violent and he was arrogant and loud 

I still here his angry voice screaming at the crowd 

Then someone said, "There's Jesus", I scarce believed my eyes 

A man so badly beaten, He barely looked alive 

Blood poured from His body, from the thorns upon His brow 

Running down the Cross, falling to the ground 

I watched as He struggled, I watched Him when He fell 

The cross came down upon His back, the crowd began to yell 

In that moment I felt such agony, in that moment I felt such loss 

Till a Roman soldier grabbed my arm and screamed 

"You, carry His cross" 

At first I tried to resist him, then his hand reached for his sword 

So I knelt and took the Cross from the Lord 

I put it on my shoulder and we started down the street 

The blood that he'd been shedding was running down my cheek 

They led us to Golgotha, they drove nails deep in His feet and hands 

Yet upon the Cross I heard Him pray, "Father, forgive them" 

Never have I seen such love in any other eyes 

"Into Thy hands I commit my spirit", He prayed and then He died 

I stood for what seemed like years, I'd lost all sense of time 

Until I felt two little hands holding tight to mine 

The children stood there weeping, I heard the oldest say 

"Father please forgive us, the lamb ran away" 

"Daddy, daddy, what have we seen here? 

There's so much that we don't understand?" 

So I took them in my arms and we turned and faced the Cross 

Then I said, "Dear children watch the lamb"
