Verse:
G
They trade for thirty pieces of silver
              C         G
Abused by the people He loved
                    C
Rejected by His own disciples
  G             D7         G
I know He still loved them because

Chorus:
C                 G
Jesus said Father forgive them
               A7      D7
He was looking down on me
G      C         G
I'm an old roman soldier
               D7          G
I stood at the foot of the tree

Verse:
              D7         G
In His eyes I saw His compassion
                  C             G
On His cheeks the tracks of His tears
                                C
On His back the stripes that He suffered
       G        D7            G
In His side the wound from my spear

He was looking down on me

I'm an old roman soldier
               D7          G
I stood at the foot of the tree

       C         G
I'm an old roman soldier

I stood at the foot of the tree
