Last night I dreamed I took a walk up Calvary's lonely hill
|
The things I saw with my own eyes could not have been more real
|
I saw upon three crosses three men in agony
|
Two cried out for mercy and the third man he looked at me
|
And oh the hurt in this man's eyes that just broke my heart in two
|
It seemed I could hear him say son I'm doing this for you
|
I knelt beneath the third mean's cross and slowly bowed my head
|
I reached out to touch his feet and it stained my hand's with red
|
And when I heard him cry in pain I raised my eyes to see
|
The blood spilled from the third man's side and some of it spilled on me
|
The third man wore a crown of thorns spikes held him to the tree
|
And I heard him say oh my God my God why hast Thou forsaken me
|
And there within a mighty crowd the ones who mocked him cried
|
King save Thyself if thou art King and then the third man died
|
Suddenly I heard the thunder roll I saw the lightening pierce the sky
|
The third man was still hanging there and I began to cry
|
I saw the boulders fall and heard the breaking of the ground
|
Then I awoke and though I dreamed I touched my cheek and found
|
My eyes were wet where I had cried a dream I wished I knew
|
I still can hear the third man say I'm doing this for you
