The Puzzle Of Passiontide Lyrics

It doesn't seem so very fair to think that,

Every time I block my ears,

And go against Your will You don't complain.

Time and time again.

In spite of all the pain that I've been causing You.

And You, and You forgive and let me live.

Just like when Judas sold You down the line,

And gave You up to soldiers who were cruel,

Made You look a fool,

Said that You could rule if they still spat on You.

Why? Why not despise me Jesus?

You, You could deny me Jesus.

It doesn't strike me as being particularly just,

When You love me with all my lust and all my pride!

Do I put it down to being simply part of the Puzzle of Passiontide?

And so, I see Your Calvary.

But every time I fail to recognise Your face,

Whenever there's a person who's in need.

I help Your wounds to bleed.

Every selfish deed of mine it crucifies You one more time.

As if the once, was not enough!

But no, I have to look You right in the eyes,

And mumble I'll ignore You if I may.

Haven't time to stay.

Every single day I turn my back on You.

And You, and You forgive and let me live.

And You forgive and let me live.

Just like when Judas sold You right down the line,

And gave You up to soldiers who were cruel,

Made You such a fool,

Not so very cool to be pinned on a tree for me.

Why not despise me Jesus?

You, You could deny me Jesus.

It doesn't strike me as being particularly just,

When You love me with all my lust and all my pride!

Do I put it down to being simply part of the Puzzle of Passiontide?
