WATCH THE LAMB

Walk ing on the road

to Je ru sa lem,

the time had come to sac ri fice

a (C)gain.

My two small (G)sons,

they walked be (Am)side me on the road.

The rea son that they came was to watch the (C)lamb.

“Dad dy, Dad dy, what will we see there?

There’s so much that we don’t

un der (C)stand.”

So I told them of (G)Mo ses

and (Am)Fa ther A bra ham,

and then I said, “Dear chil (G)dren, watch the (C)lamb.

There will be so man (C)y

in Je (F)ru sa lem to day.

We must be sure the lamb

(F)does n’t run a way.”

Then I (C)told them

of (G)Mo ses

and Fa ther A bra ham,

and then I said, “Dear chil (G)dren, watch the (C)lamb.”

When we reached the cit (Ab)y,

I knew (Bbm)some thing must be wrong.

There were no joy ful wor (Ab)ship ers,

no joy ful wor ship songs.

I (Db)stood there with my (Ab)chil dren in the midst of an gry men,

then I heard the crowd cry out,

(CN.C.)“Cru ci fy (Ab)Him!”

(Ab)We (Bbm)tried to leave the cit (Db)y,

but we could not get a way.

Forced to play in this (Db)dra ma, a part I did not wish to play.

(Ebm)Why up on this day

were (Ab)men con demned to die?

Why were we (Gb)stand ing here, where (Ab)soon they would pass by?

I (Db)looked

and said,

“E ven now they come.”

The first one cried for mer cy;

the peo ple gave him none.

The (Db)sec ond one was vio (Ab)lent,
