neal morse – jesus before pilate and the crucifixion lyrics

Loading...

[the soldiers and priests bring jesus to pontius pilate, the roman ruler in jerusalem]

[pilate:]
what is this man accused of? what law did he break?
what has he done to fill you with such murdering hate?

[caiaphas:]
he stirs up the people
incites them to sin
he says they shouldn’t pay the tax
to caesar our friend

[pilate:]
i have to know why i demand it

[priests:]
oh, jesus must die

[pilate:]
if you have proof i must have it

[priests:]
oh, hear our angry cry

[pilate:]
i have to know why i demand it
[priests:]
oh, jesus must die

[pilate:]
if you have proof i must have it

[priests:]
we’re sons of abraham
we cannot k!ll this man
our law says we can’t crucify
so you must send jesus to die!

[pilate to jesus:]
tell me what did you do?
don’t you know that i have authority?
are you rеally the christ, the king of the jеws?

[jesus:]
my kingdom’s not of this world
i was born to do one thing only
to be a light to the world and to witness the truth

[pilate:]
what is truth?
you have a custom that at the passover one man
should be released to you
do you want the king of the jews?
[crowd:]
crucify him! crucify him!
we want barabbas the murderer
we deny him! crucify him!
we have no king but caesar

[pilate:]
i wash my hands of this whole affair
his blood is on your heads
take him away

[jesus is taken to be crucified]

[jesus:]
father why have you forsaken me?
everyone’s gone but my mother and john and these few
i know this is how it had to be
it’s finished now and i’m giving my life up to you

[jesus dies on the cross]
