"We Saw Him Die" (monti013.mid)
(Intro.)
The dream was gone,
We saw Him crucified;
Arrested in the garden by the rulers He had defied.
We saw Him die,
They nailed Him to a tree;
We did not understand He died to set us free.Gone were all the hopes we had that He would take King David's throne.
Gone were all our dreams that He would build a kingdom of his own.
Our courage broken, we all forgot what He had spoken--
It was beyond our understanding that the way that He would come
Was as a suff-ring man.Driven by the fear that we who followed Him would meet his fate,
Haunted by the realization that repentance was too late,
We failed to help,
In his time of need
We all forsook Him,
And none of us could face the fact the chance of rescuing our Lord
Would never come again.Mary came bursting in through the door,
More excited than we'd ever seen her before.
Though excitement still persisted,
With all firmness she insisted
That the blessed Lord appeared before her once more.John and Peter ran in to the street,
Knowing not what(yet to be finished)
