Conway Twitty - The Third Man Lyrics






Last night I dreamed
I took a walk
Up Calvary's lonely hill,
The things I saw
With my own eyes
Could not have been more real.

I saw upon three crosses
Three men in agony;
Two, cried out for mercy,
And a third man, He looked at me.

And oh, the hurt in this man's eyes
It just broke my heart in two!
And it seemed I could hear him say
"Son, I'm doing this for you."

I knelt beneath the third man's cross,
And slowly bowed my head,
I reached out to touch his feet,
And it stained my hand's with red.

And when I heard him cry in pain,
I raised my eyes to see;
The blood spilled from the third man's side
And some of it spilled on me.

The third man wore a crown of thorns,
Spikes held him to the tree,
And I heard him say, "Oh God, My God,
Why hast thou forsaken me?"

And there within the mighty crowd,
The ones who mocked Him cried
"King, save Thyself if thou art King!"
And then the third man died.

Suddenly, I heard the thunder roll,
I saw the lightening pierce the sky.
Then third man was still hanging there,
And I began to cry.

I saw the boulders fall,
And heard the breaking of the ground.
And then I awoke,
And though I dreamed;
I touched my cheek and found

My eyes were wet where I had cried.
A dream, I wished I knew
I can still hear the third man say,
"I'm doing this for you."..

    Mary Maness because Satan is the Prince of this world. He has blinders on people. He deceives people by using worldly explanations to how the world was created, such as science and the big bang.

    I couldn't find this song no where on Y/T a few years ago, so i ask a few up-loaders to find if-n they could, well one did and he's in Japan, @Tsukikage726 and he up loaded it for me. but Y/T took it down for about a year. but i see he up loaded again, and then I guess you up loaded next, so thank you. i had this album so many decade ago, plus i have the Cassete Tape still. this will of course bring tears to your very soul to know that our Lord our God laid down his life for all...
