Lyrics

HE GOT DOWN ON HIS KNEES
AND LOOKED UP TO THE SKY
AND HE KNELT THERE ALL ALONE
AS HE BEGAN TO CRY

HE WAS AT THE END
AND HIS HEART BEGAN TO HURT
WHAT MORE COULD HE GIVE
BUT THE TEARDROPS IN THE DIRT

HE SAID WATCH OVER ME
I’M FILLED WITH SORROW AND SO TROUBLED
AND MY SOUL IS OVERWHELMED
FRIENDS PLEASE WATCH OVER ME
I’M FILLED WITH SORROW AND SO TROUBLED
AND MY SOUL IS OVERWHELMED
FRIENDS PLEASE WATCH OVER ME


THEN THE SOLDIERS THEY CAME
AND BEAT HIM TILL HE WAS BROKEN
AND THEY KICKED HIM ALL THE WAY
BUT FROM HIS FRIENDS NOT A WORD WAS SPOKEN

THEN THEY HUNG HIM ON A CROSS
AND SAID GOD CAN SAVE YOU NOW
AND HE GRASPED FOR HIS LAST BREATH
AS THE BLOOD FLOWED FROM HIS BROW


HE SAID WATCH OVER THEM
I’M FILLED WITH SORROW AND SO TROUBLED
AND MY SOUL IS OVERWHELMED
FATHER PLEASE WATCH OVER THEM
HE SAID WATCH OVER THEM
I’M FILLED WITH SORROW AND SO TROUBLED
AND MY SOUL IS OVERWHELMED
FRIENDS PLEASE WATCH OVER THEM


NOW HE WAS AT THE END
AND COULD NO LONGER FEEL THE HURT
WHAT MORE COULD HE GIVE
BUT THE BLOOD THERE IN THE DIRT
