Forgive them, for they know not
They that accuse him was lost in sin, non-believers
They brought him, the night of his’ arrest before Annas, Caiaphas, and an assembly of religious leaders
They then brought him to Pilate, who found no fault
They then sent him to Herod
They later return him to Pilate, who finally sentenced Him to death to please man
These actions I still do not understand…………..
They that believed, stood and watch
They stood and watch
They beat him, cut his skin, and then laugh in his face
They pierce him in his side, a crown of thrones upon his head it would embrace
They accuse him without evidence nor knowledge of what was to come
They followed him by hundreds, his enemies and curious folks, just to name some
They force him to carry a crossbeam on his shoulders to Golgotha’s hill just before the morning of nine
They came to see what would happened others lingered behind
They stood and watch
They that believed, stood and watch
They put nails in his hands
They put nails in his feet
They pierce him in his side
They watch him bleed
They hung him high with two thieves on each side
They that believed, stood and watch
They stood and watch
They heard him cry to the his Father to do his will
They watch the sky turn dark and the ground shake
They, some of them then realize that he was the Son Of God
They realized that they had made a mistake
They that believed, stood and watch
They stood and watch
They again heard him say, “Father, Forgive them, for they know not what they do”
They that believed, stood and watch to see the “crucifixion” carried through
They stood and watch
They that believed, stood and watch
They stood and watch
This now I do understand
That he died for the sins of man
