    Verse 1
    We 
    rode 
    into 
    town 
    the 
    other 
    day 

    Just 
    me 
    and 
    my 
    Daddy 

    He 
    said 
    I'd 
    fi
    nally 
    reached 
    that 
    age 

    And 
    could 
    ride 
    next 

    to 
    him 
    on 
    horse 

    That 
    of 
    course 
    was 
    not 
    quite 
    as 
    wide 

    Verse 2
    We 
    heard 
    a crowd 
    of 
    people 

    shout
    ing 

    An
    so 
    we 
    stopped 
    to 
    find 

    out 
    why 

    And 
    there 
    was 
    that 
    man 

    That 
    my 
    dad 
    said 
    he 
    loved 

    But 
    today 
    there 
    was 
    fear 
    in 

    his 
    eyes 

    Verse 3

    So 
    said 
    "Daddy, 

    why 
    are 
    they scream
    ing? 

    Why 
    are 
    the faces 
    of some 

    of 
    them 
    beaming? 

    Why 
    is 
    He 
    dressed 
    in 
    that 

    bright 
    purple 
    robe? 

    I'll 
    bet 
    that 
    crown 
    hurts 
    Him 

    more 
    than He 
    shows 

    Daddy, 
    please 
    can't 
    you do 
    something? 

    He 
    look
    s as 
    though 
    He's 
    gonna 
    cry 

    you 
    said 
    he 
    was stronger 

    than all 
    of 
    those 
    guys 

    Daddy, 
    please 
    tell 
    me 
    why 

    Why 
    does 
    everyone 
    want 

    him 
    to 
    die?" 

    Verse 4

    Later 
    that 
    day 
    the sky 
    grew 
    cloudy 

    And 
    Daddy 
    said 
    should 
    go 
    in
    side 

    Somehow 
    he 
    knew 
    things 

    would 
    get 
    stormy 

    Boy 
    was 
    he 
    right 

    But 
    could 
    not 
    keep 
    from 
    wonder
    ing 

    If 
    there 
    was 
    something 
    he 
    had 
    to hide 

    So 
    after 
    he 
    left 
    Verse 5
    had to find 
    out 

    was not 
    afraid 
    of 
    getting 
    lost 

    So I 
    followed 
    the 
    crowds 

    To 
    hill 
    where 
    knew 

    men 
    had 
    been 
    killed 

    And 
    I heard 
    a voice 
    come 

    from 
    the cross 

    And 
    it said, 
    Verse 6
    "Father, 

    why 
    are 
    they 
    scream
    ing? 

    Why 
    are 
    the faces 
    of 
    some 

    of 
    them 
    beaming? 

    Why 
    are 
    they 
    casting 
    their 
    lot

    for 
    My 
    robe? 

    This 
    crown 
    of thorns 
    hurts 
    Me 

    more 
    than it 
    shows 

    Father, 
    please 
    can't 
    You do 
    something? 

    know 
    that 
    You 
    must 
    hear 
    My 
    cry 

    thought 
    could 
    handle 

    the cross 
    of 
    this 
    size 

    Father, 
    remind 
    Me why 

    Why 
    does 
    everyone 
    want 

    Me 
    to 
    die? 

    When 
    will 
    un
    der
    stand 
    why?" 

    "My 
    precious 
    Verse 7
    Son, 
    hear 
    them 
    scream
    ing 

    I'm 
    watch
    ing 
    the face 

    of 
    the 
    en
    emy 
    beaming 

    But 
    soon 
    will 
    clothe 
    You 
    in 

    robe
    s of 
    My 
    own 

    Jesus, 
    this 
    hurts 
    Me 
    much 

    more 
    than You 
    know 

    But 
    this 
    dark 
    hour 
    must 

    do 
    nothing 

    Though 
    I've 
    heard 
    Your 
    unbearable 
    cry 

    The power 
    in 
    Your 
    blood 

    destroys 
    all 
    of 
    the lies 

    Soon 
    You'll see 
    past 
    their 

    unmerciful 
    eyes 

    Look 
    there 
    below, 

    see 
    the child 

    Trembling 
    by 
    her 
    father
    's 
    side 

    Now 
    can 
    tell 
    You 
    why 

    She 
    is why 
    You 
    must 
    die"

    • Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

    • Well-Designed App

      Rose the Black Cat

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

    • Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

    • Secret weapon

      Brad

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

    • Very reliable tuner

      theNewPaul

      This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

    • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      Caleb Schafli

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

    • Great to tune and play

      Lynae T

      I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
