There Stood A Lamb
Lyricist：Raymond 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'
