Verse Number One:
Jesus as died on the cross…you knew it had to be done…
Cause they would not believe…that you were God’s Son..
The soldiers gambled for your coat…they laughed and spit on the ground…
And just before your head fell..they heard you say these words out loud…

Turn-a-Round: steel guitar cries

Verse Number Two:
Jesus everywhere I look…they’re saying I have to forgive…
Cause they still won’t believe that you’re the Savior of men….
When I hear the jokes they make…and laugh at how I pray…
I whisper these words softly…& forgive them as I walk away…
