    Please…if you have time, listen to this song. Here are the lyrics…


    Watch The Lamb
    Ray Boltz


    Walking on the road to Jerusalem
    The time had come to sacrifice again
    My two small sons they walked beside me on the road
    The reason that they came, was to watch the lamb

    “Daddy, daddy what will we see there
    There’s so much that we don’t understand”
    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 little 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 worshipors there were no joyful worship songs
     I stood there with my children in the midst of angry men
    Then I heard the crowd cry out,
    “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 look and said, “Even now they come”
    The first one cried for mercy, the people gave him none
    The second one was violent, he was arrogant and loud
    I still can hear his angry voice, screaming at the crowd

    Then someone said “there’s Jesus” and 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, and falling to the ground
    I watched Him as He struggled, I watched Him as 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

    ‘Til a Roman soldier grabbed my arm and screamed “YOU carry His cross”


    At first I tried to resist him, but his hand reached for his sword
    So I knelt and I took, the cross from the Lord
    I placed it on my shoulders, we started down the street
    The blood that He’d been shedding, was running down my cheek

    They led us to Galgotha they drove nails deep in His feet and hands
    Yet upon the cross I heard Him pray “Father forgive them”
    Oh never have I seen such love in any other eyes
    “Into Thy hands I commit My spirit” He prayed, then He died

    I stood for what seemed like years, I lost all sense of time
    Until I felt two tiny hands, holding tight to mine
    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, we turned and faced the cross
    Then I said, “Dear children Watch the Lamb”
