I Knelt Beneath The Cross

Last night with sleep so restless
From a dream that felt so real
That when I awoke this morning
Both my cheeks were wet with
            tears
I dreamed I stood on Calvary
On the day that Jesus died
And as I knelt beneath that cross
In which Christ hung I heard
           him cry

(Chorus)

Father please forgive them
For they know not what they do
I'll gladly give myself to die
So that they might come to you
I raised my eyes and saw the tears
Of joy stream down his face
Last night I knelt beneath the cross
Where Jesus died to take my place

(Musical Break)

In my dream I saw the crown of
         thorns
That Jesus wore upon his brow
And I thought my heart would
        break in two
When his blood spilled upon the
       ground
And when Jesus saw the tears I cried
He said son look up to me
Cause you're kneeling neath the cross
Of the man who dies to set you free

(Chorus)

And then he said
Father please forgive them
For they know not what they do
I'll gladly give myself to die
So that they might come to you
I raised my eyes and saw the tears
Of joy stream down his face
Last night I knelt beneath the cross
Where Jesus died to take my place
