Daddy, daddy, what will we see there
There's so much we don't understand
So I told them of Moses and Father Abraham
And then I said dear children watch the lamb.
When we reached the city I knew something must be wrong
There were no joyful worshippers no joyful worship songs.
I stood there with my children in the midst of angry men.
And then I heard the crowd cry out crucify Him.
I watched Him as He struggled I watched Him as He fell.
The cross came down upon His back, the crowd began to yell.
In that moment I felt such agony, in that moment I felt such loss.
Until a Roman soldier grabbed my arm and screamed "You carry His cross.
At first I tried to resist him, then his hand reached his sword.
And so I knelt and took the cross from the Lord.
I placed it on my shoulder and started down the street.
The blood that He'd been shedding was running down my cheek.
They led us to Golgotha they drove nails deep in His feet and hands.
And yet upon the cross I heard Him pray, "Father, forgive them."
Oh 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'd lost all sense of time.
Until I felt two tiny hands holding tight to mine.
My children stood there weeping I heard the oldest say.
"Father, please forgive us the lamb ran away.
Daddy, daddy what have we seen here.
There is so much 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."
"Watch The Lamb" The Background music is Watch The Lamb
In the Bible (John 1: 29), John the Baptist saw Jesus coming. John told the people,
"Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!"
The Bible teaches us that Jesus was without sin. He was pure and Holy like none before or after Him. He was acceptable unto God to take on all the sins of the world. Not only was Jesus acceptable, but He was willing to die a very cruel death so that Christians, (those that believe and follow Jesus), can be acceptable to God as His children. It is through Jesus' blood as the sacrificial lamb of God that we are forgive.
Today the cross is perhaps the world's most famous symbol. It can be seen on flags and badges, in churches, Christian schools, art galleries,T-shirts, earrings, necklaces and even of bumper stickers on tha back of cars. To many people today the cross is a symbol of hope and comfort. In the time that Jesus lived and died (AD30) the cross meant one of the cruellest forms of death ever devised by human beings. Each of the four gospels record the cruel death of Jesus.(Matthew 27:45-56; Mark 15:33-41; Luke 23:44-49; John 19:28-30) The old testament book of Isaiah 53: 5-12 prophesied the cruel Death of Jesus.
He was oppressed and afflicted,
yet He did not open His mouth;
He was led like a lamb to the slaughter,
and as a sheep before her shearers is silent,
so He did not open His mouth,

And they sang worthy
Worthy of honor and praise
They were casting down crowns
And praising His name
When He cried who is worthy
I can hear Jesus saying, " I am"
Oh, praise God, forever There stood a Lamb
Now open your Bible
Open your heart
It's clear we are in the last days
And He said I'll comequickly
So don't be surprised
When
He comes back to take us away
feeble excuses won't get very far
When you find yourself there at His throne
you know Jesus and He is your Lord
Hallelujah, you won't be alone
And we'll sing worthy
Worthy of honor and praise
We'll be casting down crowns
Rising His name
When He says are you worthy
I can hear Jesus saying, "I am"
Oh, praise God, forever
There stood a Lamb
And we'll sing worthy
Worthy of honor and praise
As we cast down our crowns
We'll be praising His name
When He says are you worthy
I can hear Jesus saying, "I am"
Oh, praise God, forever
Praise God, forever
Praise God, forever
There stood a Lamb
