Wayne WatsonWhat shall we do with this JesusOut of control people screaming "crucify"But they can't tell me whyWhat has He done--Name His transgressionTell me His crime--That He should dieSisters and brothers caught up in the hungerMothers and fathers quick to make claim for the blameWho then is guilty--Who's gonna answerVoices cry out demanding the shameChorusLet the blood--Let the blood of the manBe on our hands and on our childrenLookin' for someone to blameHere we standLet the blood--Let the blood of the manThe charge for His life ever rest upon usGuilty--Here we standWas there a voice numbered among themWas there an image that looked like meCould it be--The cry of abuseThe cold accusationCould change to a prayer--A sinners pleaThe hope for all the nationsFor every boy and girlThe surety that life is not in vainJust like at Calvary's stationThe cry heard round the worldTo cover over us with precious stainChorusLet the blood--Let the blood of the manThe fruit of his lifeEver blessed and holySpotless--Here we stand
