72. My Time Is Come

Chorus-
My time is come, O my time is come
My time is come, I'm bound to pay the debt I owe.

1
Judus was settin' at the last Passover
John he rested upon his shoulder
He spoke one word and it seemed to blight
He said one of you will betray me tonight.

Mark cried out Lawd is it I, Luke cried out Lawd is it I
Judus said look and see, he dat sup in de dish wid me.

2
De cruel Jews dey took muh Lawd
They bound him with a purple cord
They led Him up to Pilate's Hall
De council met abd the roll was called.
3
Pilate's wife she had a dream
De innocent lam' I nebbuh seen
Bring me water to wash muh han'
I will not be guilty of de innocent lam'.
