He called His friends together for dinner one last time

He said, “one of you will betray me, and that of which is not mine.”

So before they ate, He told this certain guest that He could be excused

And while the rest of them prayed, an offer was made that just could not be refused.

 

When He broke the bread, He said, “this is my body, which has been given up for you”

And when He poured the wine, He said, “this is the divine Blood of Life that’s everlasting and new.”

Then after the feast, when man sleeps cause the flesh is weak, He said, “rise, my betrayer’s at hand.”

And the soldiers came and took Him away, just like it was planned….

Do you know this Man?

  Gb2       Db     Ab

Do you know this Man?

  Gb2                      Db            Ab/C                   Bbm7

Have you let in the love that poured from His hands?

  Gb2       Ab     Bbm   Gb2       Ab            Db   

Do you know this Man? Do you know this Man?

 

…and when they beat Him, He stood alone. Even His friends had fled,

cause they feared for their lives, they even told lies. “We don’t know that guy,” they said.

And when they took Him to the judge and he announced, “He’s done no wrong to condemn,”

The people, they yelled and threatened to rebel. Only His life would silence them…

 

 

BRIDGE:

(Ab/C)  Bbm7                           Ab                                        Gb2                                                                (Ab)

…they tore off His clothes, whipped Him to the bone, and beat a thorn crown in His head…

Bbm7                          Ab                                                       Gb2

Then they took this Man, drove nails in His hands, and with one last breath He cried…

                 Eb/G

But the only reason that He died

                        Gb2                            Db/F                                  Bbm                            Ab

Was for our lies, our greed, our egos that we feed, our mouths, our sex, our pride and complex,

        B6                                    Bbm                                        Amaj7

Our rage, our hate, to forgive and consecrate, the Ultimate Price was paid

Ab                                           (to last chorus)

But it’s never too late…
