Daughters of Jerusalem


We have heard Pilat’s decree and cannot believe what we have heard
How can this be His judgment we hoped and prayed but this is what we feared
This Holy Man who saved so many how can He not save Himself from death
We cannot imagine why He has to suffer so, we can hardly catch our breath
We will follow Him until the end but we hope and pray God will intervene
Such brutal torture and beating unlike anything we have seen
What can we do for our Lord He is on His way to the hill to die
We cannot stop this injustice though we weep, wail and cry
How can He ask us not to weep for Him we are filled with awe?
To pray for those that don’t believe in Him they will one day crawl
To the feet of the Lord to beg for mercy wishing they had heard
The decree of the Lord to Zion and beyond the awesome power of His Word
