Lyrics
WHAT HAVE THEY DONE
What have they done? What have they done?
and Jesus knelt to pray.
What have they done? What have they done?
they took our Lord away.
They brought him before the learned men
so they could charge him with a crime.
When Pilate asked Him Are you the Son of God?
He answered "YOU SAY I AM"
What have they done? What have they done?
early on that morn..What have the done? What have they done
They gave him a crown of thorns.
They led him on a country road
to a place where the mob could see
The mocked him and they laughed at him
and they nailed him upon a tree.
What have they done? What have they done?
and Jesus knelt to pray
What have they done? What have the done?
They took our Lord away
THEY TOOK OUR LORD AWAY
