They were watching from a distance
And they could not
Take their eyes from You

You were bleeding
They were weeping
Faithful sisters, they had followed You
They did not understand

They could not see
They were mourning their loss

As the sky turned black
And the earth turned red
At the foot of the cross

He was standing near your mother
They were so close
They could hear you sighing
All around them angry voices
Pierced the darkness
And you were dying
But they would not leave

They lingered there
No matter the cost
They were staying
And they were praying
At the foot of the cross

Keep me near the cross
Near the cross
May I never stray so far
That I cannot see
What flowed down for me
At the foot of the cross

Now Im standing in your presence
And I cannot take my eyes from You
You have risen I'm forgiven
Precious Saviour, oh I worship You
No I'm not looking back
Ive heard Your voice
And I'm staying here
I've made my choice
For now its real, now I kneel
At the foot of the cross

We don't really know much about her
We don't really know her name
But the way she was treated
Was a shame

She heard the angry voices
There was nothing
That she could say
It wouldn't have mattered anyway

All she saw were the stones
All she saw were the stones
She felt so helpless
So all alone
How she longed
For the face of a friend
But oh, all she saw were the stones

They pulled her from her lover's arms
Out into the street
They drug her to the synagogue
And threw her at Christ's feet
This woman is an adulteress
And our law is very clear
The Master saw her looking down
Her eyes were filled with tears

'Cause all she saw were the stones
All she saw were the stones
She felt so helpless
So all alone
How she longed
For the face of a friend
But oh, all she saw were the stones

Jesus looked up from the crowd
And then He said to them
You be the first to cast a stone
If you have never sinned
One by one they walked away
They left the stones behind
I wish I could have seen her face
When she opened up her eyes

'Cause all she saw were the stones
All she saw were the stones
Jesus said, I forgive you
Go and sin no more
She knew she'd never be the same
Oh no, all she saw were the stones

All she saw were the stones
Jesus said, I forgive you
Go and sin no more
She knew she'd never be the same
Oh no, all she saw were the stones

Walking On the Road
To Jerusalem,
The time had come to sacrifice,
Again,

My two small sons,
They walked beside me down 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,"
So I told them of Moses,
And Father Abraham,
And I said dear children,
"Watch the lamb....

There will be so many,
In Jerusalem today,
We must be sure this little lamb,
Doesn't run away,"

And I told them of Moses,
And Father Abraham,
And I said "Dear children,
Watch the lamb"

When we reached the city,
I knew something must be wrong,
There were no joyful worshippers there,
No joyful worship songs,

And I stood there,
With my children,
In the midst of angry men,
Then I heard a 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 want to play,

Why upon this day were men condemned to die,
Why were we standing right here,
Where soon they would pass by,

I looked and I 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 can still hear 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 on His brow,
Running down the cross,
And falling to the ground,

I watched as He struggled,
And I watched Him when He fell,
The cross came down upon His back,
And the crowd began to yell,

In that moment I felt such agony,
In that moment I felt such loss,
Till the 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 put it on my shoulders
We started down the street
And the blood that He'd been shedding,
Was running down my cheeck...

They led us to Golgatha
They drove nails
Deep in His feet and hands,
And on 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 lost all sense of time,
Then I felt two tiny hands
Holding tight to mine

My children stood there weeping,
And I heard the oldest say
"Father please forgive us,
The lamb,
Ran away...

Daddy daddy,
What've 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
And I said
"Dear children
Watch the Lamb
"
