Blood on my Hands

Blood On My Hands

I was there when they arrested Him, it was in the middle of the night

Quite a few of us had gathered close and we were ready for a fight

He’d been marked by the Sanhedran, by a betrayer who’d been bought

Our plan was set to kill this man and end his threat to Jewish thought

Many claimed he was a prophet, his life for all he’d gladly give

But then he said he was Messiah and for that he would not live

We took him to the High Priest, his blood we wanted spilled

Accusations would be made and then we knew He would be killed

Not once did He resist us nor countered what we’d said

He did not defend His honor though He knew he’d soon be dead

He was beaten by the Romans and was whipped beyond belief

And although I will deny it, when they were done I felt relief

Then he was made to carry the very instrument of death

To the top of mount Golgotha where he’d breathe His final breath

There I lashed Him to the cross beam, put nails in His hands and feet

I then raised the cross to heaven and quickly took a seat

I wanted to observe his death, to hear his final cry

But it was not what I expected from a man about to die

He said, “Father, please forgive them for they know not what they do”

He then turned his eyes to heaven saying, “I give my Spirit back to You”
