Version 3 of the lyrics

  We rode into town the other day just me and my daddy  We rode into town the other day just me and my daddy
  He said I'd finally reached that age  He said I'd finally reached that age
  And I could ride next to him on a horse  And I could ride next to him on a horse
  That of course was not quite as wide  That of course was not quite as wide
      
  We heard a crowd of people shouting  We heard a crowd of people shouting
  And so we stopped to find out why  And so we stopped to find out why
  And there was that man that my dad said he loved  And there was that man that my dad said he loved
  But today there was fear in his eyes  But today there was fear in his eyes
      
  So I said, "Daddy why are they screaming?  So I said, "Daddy why are they screaming?
  Why are the faces of some of them beaming?  Why are the faces of some of them beaming?
  Why is he dressed in that bright purple robe?  Why is he dressed in that bright purple robe?
  I'll bet that crown hurts him more than he shows"  I'll bet that crown hurts him more than he shows"
      
  "Daddy please can't you do something?  "Daddy please can't you do something?
  He looks as if though he's gonna cry  He looks as if though he's gonna cry
  You said He was stronger than all of those guys  You said He was stronger than all of those guys
  Daddy please tell me why, why does everyone want him to die?  Daddy please tell me why, why does everyone want him to die?
      
  Later that day the sky grew cloudy  Later that day the sky grew cloudy
  And daddy said I should go inside  And daddy said I should go inside
  Somehow he knew things would get stormy, Lord, was he right?  Somehow he knew things would get stormy, Lord, was he right?
  But I could not keep from wondering  But I could not keep from wondering
      
  If there was something he had to hide  If there was something he had to hide
  So after he left I had to find out, I was not afraid of getting lost  So after he left I had to find out, I was not afraid of getting lost
  So I followed the crowds to a hill where I knew men had been killed  So I followed the crowds to a hill where I knew men had been killed
  And I heard a voice come from the cross  And I heard a voice come from the cross
      
  And it said, "Father why are they screaming?  And it said, "Father why are they screaming?
  Why are the faces of some of them beaming?  Why are the faces of some of them beaming?
1  Why are they casting their lives for my own?   Why are they casting their lots for my robes? 1
  This crown of thorns hurts me more than it shows"  This crown of thorns hurts me more than it shows"
      
  "Father, please can't you do something?  "Father, please can't you do something?
  I know that you must hear my cry  I know that you must hear my cry
  I thought I could handle a cross of this size  I thought I could handle a cross of this size
  Father remind me why, why does everyone want me to die?  Father remind me why, why does everyone want me to die?
  When will I understand why?"  When will I understand why?"
      
2  For my precious son, I hear them screaming   My     precious son, I hear them screaming 2
  I'm watching the face of the enemy beaming  I'm watching the face of the enemy beaming
  But soon I will clothe you in robes of my own  But soon I will clothe you in robes of my own
  Jesus, this hurts me much more than you know  Jesus, this hurts me much more than you know
      
  But this dark hour I must do nothing  But this dark hour I must do nothing
  Though I've heard you unbearable cries  Though I've heard you unbearable cries
  The power in your blood destroys all of the lies  The power in your blood destroys all of the lies
  Soon you'll see past their unmerciful eyes  Soon you'll see past their unmerciful eyes
      
  Look there below, see the child  Look there below, see the child
  Trembling by her father's side  Trembling by her father's side
  Now I can tell you why  Now I can tell you why
  She is why you must die  She is why you must die
