about

Simon of Cyrene is pulled out of the crowd to help bear the cross of a condemned man.

lyrics

There in the city, the family and I
Up from Cyrene for the feast.
Jerusalem heaved like a creature alive
The streets seemed to know no peace.

Then out of nowhere a crowd filled the street.
Their hate and contempt soured the air
And there in the dust of the road at our feet
A man with a cross to bear

His back was ripped open, and his blood had stained the stones
The mob was crazed, like dogs they bayed for blood.
But who was this unfortunate, whose flesh hung from his bones
Who was this they dragged through the mud?

Then through my horror, a guard pulled me out
He said bear his cross for awhile.
I shook my hands but he started to shout
So I shared the cross that mile.

And then through the clamour, they cried out his name
Jesus the Nazarene
So this was the prophet we’d heard of his fame
But why this unholy scene?

His eyes hardly opened, and his face was black and torn
But in his eyes I saw no hint of fear
And there upon his head I saw he wore a crown of thorns
Suddenly, I’m blinded by tears.
