Lyrics
Dear Father let this come pass for me
But if i must go through this catastrophe
Let it be they need hope and i hate sin
I don't mind bein murdered if it rescues them
But how, would they forget how i loved
Could they forget what i did
How i fed them and healed their kids
Through faith the disciples i taught 'em to eat
Asked them stay awake but their fast asleep
Even Judas turned his back on me
He betrayed me with a kiss how can this be
Soldiers came lock me up and threw me in court
They accused me of things all lies of course
Even Peter the faithful denied my name
Its a shame
How these people treat there king
With death around the corner i know that its comin
He died and He rose
Even beyond recognition
He did it for you all
He did it for you all
I got two black eyes one bloody nose
10 guards beat me, gambled for my clothes
1 stick 5 hits now im on the ground
They make me stand up and knock me back down
As the guards grab my hair and pull it out
Pain hurts so bad i nearly pass out
Blood drips in mt eyes i can barely see
Im so weak from the beatin i can barely breathe
Next
They put a crown of thorns in my head
Not on my head
Did you hear what i said
I can barely breathe as they make me stand and walk me to a stone and tie up my hands
One man grabs a whip, cocks it back
Put 39 lashes on the bare of my back
My body is blue and black from all the lashes
They can free one man but they pucked Barabas
He died and He rose
Even beyond recognition
He did it for you all
He did it for you all
Why do they mock me
Why fo they laugh
Do they not realize it hurts so bad
And i hurt, so sad
No im not mad
Im just glad to do the will of my dad
Dear Father forgive 'em they dont understand
As the Roman men drive nails in my hands
As they place my feet in one single line
Drop one lil spike in these feet of mine
With two thieves by my side
As im crucified
One thief believes but the other denies
Dear Father please dont cry wipe the tear from your eye
(Bridge)
Im about to die but this is not good bye
This is not good bye im about to die
But this is not good bye
This is not good bye im about to die
But thus is not good bye
He died and He rose
Even beyond recognition
He did it for you all
He did it for you all
