CWalking on the Groad to JeAmrusalemAm7  
FThe time had come to Gsacrifice aCgain
My two small Gsons, they walked Ambeside me on the rAm7oad
The Freason that they came Gwas to watch the CLamb
Daddy, Gdaddy what will Amwe see Am7there?
FThere's so much that Gwe don't underCstand
So I tCold them of MGoses and FAmather AbrahAm7am
And Fthen I said, Dear Gchildren watch the Clamb
AmFor there will be so Am7many in JeFrusalem today
AmWe must be sAm7ure the Lamb doFesn't run aGway
And I Ctold them of GMoses and AmFather AbraAm7ham
FThen I said, Dear Gchildren watch the CLamb
When we reached the Gcity I knew Amsomething must be Am7wrong
FThere were no joyful Gworshippers no jFoyful worship soGngs
I sCtood there with my Gchildren in the Ammidst of angry Am7men
And tFhen I heard the cGrowd cry out, 
CrFucify Ghim
AmWe tried to reach the Am7city, but we coFuld not get away
AmForced to play in this Am7drama, a part I dFid not wish to pFlay
DmWhy upon this Dm/Cday were Gmen condemned to Gdie?
DmWhy were we sDm/Ctanding here where Gsoon they would pass Gby?
CI looked and saGid, eAmven now they cAm7ome
FThe first one cried for Gmercy, Fthe people gave him nGone
The sCecond one was vGiolent, he was aAmrrogant and lAm7oud
FI still can hear his Gangry voice scFreaming at the cGrowd
Then sAmomeone said there's JAm7esus and I sFcarce believed my eyes
A mAman so badly Am7/Gbeaten he bFarely looked aFlive
BDmlood poured from his Dm/Cbody from the tGhorns upon his Gbrow
rDmunning down the Dm/Ccross and fGalling to the gGround
I wCatched him as he stGruggled I wAmatched him as he fAm7ell
FThe cross came down upGon his back, the cFrowd began to yGell
In that moCment I felt such aGgony, in that mAmoment i felt such lAm7oss
FUntil a Roman soldier grGabbed my arm and screamed, YFou, carry his crGoss!
AmAt first I tried to resAm7ist him then his hFand reached for his swFord
And Amso I knelt and Am7took the crFoss from the LFord
DmPlaced it on my sDm/Choulder and sGtarted down the sGtreet
The Dmblood that he'd been sDm/Chedding was rGunning down my chGeek
CThey led us to GolgGotha they drove nAmails deep in his feet and hAm7ands
And Fyet upon the cross I hGeard him pray, "FFather forgive tGhem"
Oh, nCever have I sGeen such love Amin any other Am7eyes 
IFnto thy hands I cGommit my spirit he pFrayed and then he dCied
AmI stood for what sAm7eemed like years I'd loFst all sense of tFime
AmUntil I felt two tAm7iny hands hFolding tight to mAm7ine
DmMy children stood there wDm/Ceeping, I hGeard the oldest sGay
DmFather please fDm/Corgive us the LGamb ran aCway
DCaddy, dGaddy, wAmhat have we seen Am7here? 
FThere's so much that Gwe don't understCand
So I tCook them in my arGms and we tuAmrned and faced the crAm7oss
And Fthen I said, Dear Gchildren watch the LCsus4ambCsus4  C

Am7

Dm/C

Am7/G

Csus4

C G Am Am7

Walking on the road to Jerusalem

F G C

The time had come to sacrifice again

G Am Am7

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

F G C

The reason that they came was to watch the Lamb

G Am Am7

Daddy, daddy what will we see there?

F G C

There's so much that we don't understand

C G Am Am7

So I told them of Moses and Father Abraham

F G C

And then I said, Dear children watch the lamb

Am Am7 F

For there will be so many in Jerusalem today

Am Am7 F G

We must be sure the Lamb doesn't run away

C G Am Am7

And I told them of Moses and Father Abraham

F G C

Then I said, Dear children watch the Lamb

G Am Am7

When we reached the city I knew something must be wrong

F G F G

There were no joyful worshippers no joyful worship songs

C G Am Am7

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

F G

And then I heard the crowd cry out,

F G

Crucify him

Am Am7 F

We tried to reach the city, but we could not get away

Am Am7 F F

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

Dm Dm/C G G

Why upon this day were men condemned to die?

Dm Dm/C G G

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

C G Am Am7

I looked and said, even now they come

F G F G

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

C G Am Am7

The second one was violent, he was arrogant and loud

F G F G

I still can hear his angry voice screaming at the crowd

Am Am7 F

Then someone said there's Jesus and I scarce believed my eyes

Am Am7/G F F

A man so badly beaten he barely looked alive

Dm Dm/C G G

Blood poured from his body from the thorns upon his brow

Dm Dm/C G G

running down the cross and falling to the ground

C G Am Am7

I watched him as he struggled I watched him as he fell

F G F G

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

C G Am Am7

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

F G F G

Until a Roman soldier grabbed my arm and screamed, You, carry his cross!

Am Am7 F F

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

Am Am7 F F

And so I knelt and took the cross from the Lord

Dm Dm/C G G

Placed it on my shoulder and started down the street

Dm Dm/C G G

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

C G Am Am7

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

F G F G

And yet upon the cross I heard him pray, "Father forgive them"

C G Am Am7

Oh, never have I seen such love in any other eyes

F G F C

Into thy hands I commit my spirit he prayed and then he died

Am Am7 F F

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

Am Am7 F Am7

Until I felt two tiny hands holding tight to mine

Dm Dm/C G G

My children stood there weeping, I heard the oldest say

Dm Dm/C G C

Father please forgive us the Lamb ran away

C G Am Am7

Daddy, daddy, what have we seen here?

F G C

There's so much that we don't understand

C G Am Am7

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

F G Csus4 Csus4 C

And then I said, Dear children watch the Lamb
