He Could Have Called Ten Thousand Angels

Solo by John Canaris

They bound the hands of Jesus in the garden where he pray

They led him through the streets in shame

They spat upon the Saviour so pure and so free from sin

They said crucify him he’s to blame

Upon his precious head they placed a crown of thorns

They laughed and said behold your king

They mocked him and they cursed him and they mocked his holy name

O Lord He suffered everything

He could have called ten thousand angels to destroy this world and set him free
He could have called ten thousand angels but he died alone for you for me

2

To the howling mob he yielded he did not for mercy cry

The cross of shame he bore alone

And when he cried t’is finished he gave himself to die

Salvation’s wondrous plan was done

He could have called ten thousand angels to destroy this world and to set him free
He could have called ten thousand angels but he died alone for you for me
