"NEVER FORGET WHAT YOU HAVE SEEN"

I STOOD BY A FULL BLOSSOMED TREE
AS THEY DRAGGED YOU UP THE HILL
WHAT HAS HE DONE? I WONDERED
THAT THE SOLIDERS ARE SO EAGER TO KILL

I WALKED OVER TO A WOMAN
WHO WAS CRYING ON HER KNEES
PLEASE LADY CAN YOU TELL ME
WHAT THIS MAN HAS DONE TO DIE ON THAT TREE?

SHE LOOKED UP AT ME WITH LOVING EYES
THAT WERE FILLED WITH JOY, YET ALSO SORROW
HER VOICE QUIVERED AS SHE SAID TO ME
"THAT IS GOD'S SON CHRIST THE GIVER OF YOUR TOMORROWS"

AS I HEARD THE HAMMER POUNDING THE NAILS
I ASKED WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
SHE TOOK MY HAND AND HELD IT TIGHT
SAYING"NEVER FORGET WHAT YOU HAVE SEEN"

FOR YOU ARE WITNESSING A REBIRTH
THE NEW BEGINNING FOR ONE AND ALL
A WAY FOR EVERY MAN,WOMAN AND CHILD
TO BE FREED OF SIN AND THE DEVIL'S CALL

I HAD TO GO WALK CLOSER TO HIM
FOR I WAS REALLY PUZZLED BY THIS TIME
AS I STOOD BENEATH THE CROSS OF CHRIST
I FELT A PRESENCE SO DEVINE

THE SKY GREW DARK IN A MYSTERIOUS WAY
FLASHES OF LIGHTING WERE EVERYWHERE
CHRIST WHISPERED "FORGIVE THEM FATHER
WITH SUCH TENDER LOVING CARE

THAT I FELT TEARS RUNNING DOWN MY FACE
FOR THIS MAN I NEVER KNEW
BUT I FELT MY HEART FILL WITH HIS LOVE
WISHING THERE WAS SOMETHING I COULD DO

SO BEFORE THIS CROSS I FELL TO MY KNEES
PRAYING DEAR GOD PLEASE SAVE YOUR SON
WHEN I HEARD A MERE WHISPER SAYING
"HE IS ON HIS WAY HOME HIS WORK IS DONE"

THEN IN THAT INSTANT
NO MORE SORROW DID I FEEL
FOR I KNEW THAT CHRIST WOULD LIVE AGAIN
AND THAT TO ALL OF US HE WOULD REVEAL

THAT HE IS THE DOORWAY TO HEAVEN
THE FORGIVER OF ALL OUR SINS
THAT IN HIM WE CAN FIND TRUE LOVE
AND A NEW WAY TO START OVER AGAIN

SO REMEMBER ALWAYS THE STORY
OF THE CROSS AND JESUS CHRIST
FOR THE BLOOD THAT HE SHED THAT DAY
IS THE BLOOD NEEDED TO CHANGE A LIFE
