What were they thinking
When You stood there , silent ,
Resigned to Your fate , unwilling
To stop the lies and insults
Hurled at You ?Didn't they know
Submission to Our Father's will
Is the only way ?What were they thinking
When You were beaten
Within an inch of Your life ,
When You were forced
To carry Your own cross
On Your torn , bloody back ?Didn't they realize
The cross is the key
To Our Father's Kingdom ?What were they thinking
When they nailed You to that tree ,
When a Roman soldier
Pierced Your side with a lance
And water and blood flowed ?Didn't they know
You were the hope of mankind ,
And Hope can never be
Crucified ?
