I Cannot Watch Them
guitar chords lyrics
And Peter remembered the words of Jesus
And he went out and wept bitterly
What have I done!
denied Him.
What have I done.
So now, am I no different from the men
Who take thy bread and turn again.
What have I done.
What have I done!
I hear their filthy tongues,
Their viscious scorn,
The lies they spin with Satans yarn.
I watch them spit and strike thy face
And strike thy face.
They mock thy name in foul disgrace.
I watch them spit and strike thy face
And strike thy face.
They mock thy name in foul disgrace.
And when thou lookest for a friend,
Thou findest none, for I have fled.
Oh God,
What have I done!
As thou hast taken stripes for me,
Could I not take but one for thee?
I cannot watch them take my Lord.
I can't endure their cruel hands upon Him.
While His own hands are tied with cord.
Those hands with power to raise the dead,
Command the storm,
Now bound instead.
I cannot hear them mock His name,
I cannot bear their fowl breath upon Him.
I dare not look upon His face;
To see the very son of God.
His brow so bruised and stained with blood.
His eyes that shed my sorrows tears,
And watch as all hope disappears.
I will not watch them crucify my Lord.
For I know this man!
I know Him!
I know this man!
I cannot watch what He must bear,
For surely He must carry all my burden.
Forgive me Lord that I'm not there.
But when my eyes are closed in death,
These words will hang on my last breath,
I know Him.
I
