Watch the Lamb - Ameritz Tribute Standards (阿莫瑞兹致敬标准)

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

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"
