Blood and Tears
The Passion of Jesus Christ
(Dave Cooley)

Am                          Asus
He was taken from our midst
Am                                      Asus
Betrayed by one that he called friend
Am                  Asus
Just a single kiss
Am                        
Revealed the enemy within
And so the end was to begin

Am                          Asus
He was guarded on all sides
Am                          Asus
So that he could not escape
Am                          Asus
He did not struggle or resist
Am                         
He has accepted as his fate
                                 Dm     Dsus
His death would save us from our sins

[this chord pattern continues throughout the whole song...]

He was taken to the priests
Said the high priest Caiaphas
"You are accused of many things
The worst is that you have blasphemed
You called yourself the Son of God
Claimed to be a holy king."

Then they beat him with their fists
Kick him as he writhed in pain
A crown of thorns pierced His flesh
As they spat on him and laughed
I saw blood mingling with tears
Blood mingled with his tears

He stood before the maddened crowd
Pilate standing at His side
Pilate said he found no crime
No reason for this man to die
They shouted louder "Crucify!"
He sent our Lord away to die

Jesus told us he would die
And on the third day rise again
To fulfill the prophecies
And glorify the Father's name
But we did not understand
How could we understand?

I saw him hanging on the cross
Blood mingled with his tears
Mocked and taunted by the mob
Yet with his dying breath
"Father, forgive them," was His plea

Blood mingling with tears...
