Am G F F Am G F Am7/F
 
[Verse 1]
      Am             G          F
Oh it took me just a half a day to make the cross he'd bare
        Am          G               F
And the soldiers 15 minutes for the crown of thorns he'd wear
           Em                Dm7                 C
Simon from Cyrene, they made him carry the cross
        Dm7                Em
As they marched him to the place of the skull
   F                 G        C
And offered him wine and gall
 
[Chorus]
    Am             G
But Jesus wouldn't take it
F
 Some cried set him free
    Am              G
Then  someone turned to me and asked
F
 Now who do you believe
                   Em
Do you take Him at his word
           Dm7                 G
For it's a     double edged sword
        Dm7        G             Am
Is He a lunatic, a liar or the Lord
 
[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
      Am             G
Well, me, my name is Jonas
F
 My trade is nails and men
    Am                G
But this one, oh He's different
         F
From any other one of them
                            Em
With the first spike in His right hand
  Dm7                       G
I    looked Him in the eyes
    Dm7             Em
The guilty ones cry out for shame
    F    G            C
But His, they did not lie
 
[Chorus]
       Am              G
Was to early for the sunset
F
Yet so dark we could not see
      Am                  G                 F
And I heard His voice cry out, my God, my God
Why have you forsaken me
        Am                    G
We just cast our lots for His clothes
F
For none of us were sure
         Dm7        G           Am
Was He a lunatic, a liar or the Lord
 
[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
F
Oh we gathered in our room
In our sorrow and despair
C
 Mary rushed from the tomb
Said our Lord is not there
F
  And suddenly appeared to us with spike marks on His feet
        C
Reached down His hands of blood and muck
G                      Am
He turned to them and me
F
 Said now who,
G               C
 Who do you believe
 
[Chorus]
       F
Do you take me at my word
For it's a double edged sword
       Dm7        G       Am
Am I a lunatic, a liar or the Lord
 
[Chorus]
      F
Yes I take Him at His word
He's my shield and sword
   Dm7         G            Am
No lunatic, no liar, He's my Lord
