Lyrics
What did you say Jesus the night they betrayed you
When soldiers came in the night
How did it feel in the light of the torches
Why did you not put up a fight?
What did you say Jesus when they dragged you away
Mocked you again and again
Slapped you and beat you and cut you with thorns
What did you say then?
CHORUS
He said I love you I love you
Truly truly I love you
What did you say Jesus when they took that hammer
And drove those nails through your hands
Did you curse them Jesus as they pounded them in
Spilling your blood in the sand
What did you say Jesus when they raised the cross
Pierced you and mocked you again
Then left you alone do die like a thief
What did you say then?
CHORUS
BRIDGE
You could have made thunder, called down some lightning
You could have brought fire to the land
They wanted to kill you and you let it happen
That's something I don't understand
What do you say Jesus when I am afraid
And flinch at the sound of your name
When I should speak boldly that's when I'm quiet
Sometimes I'm even ashamed
What do you say Jesus when I let you down
Again and again and again
Do you see my weakness Do you turn your back
What do you say then?
CHORUS
