Watch The Lamb



Words and Music by Ray Boltz



Walking on the road to Jerusalem

The time had come to sacrifice again

Forced to play in this drama,

A part I did not wish to play

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
