Woman Of Zebedee

One day, the woman of Zebedee

The mother of James and John

Came to see Jesus

I want my sons James and John

To sit on your right hand and on your left

But Jesus said

Are you able to drink of the cup that I shall drink

Are you able to be baptized

With the baptism that I am baptized with

 

Woman, You don't know what you ask

Woman, You don’t know what you ask

To take your cross and follow Jesus

To the end

 

Woman of Zebedee

You know that I love your sons

Your boys James and John

But the hour will come

When they must take their cross

Pay the price and follow me

Oh Woman, do you want your sons

To bear much fruit

Then they must lose their lives

For my sake, for my sake

 

Woman, You don't know what you ask

Woman, You don’t know what you ask

To take your cross and follow Jesus

To the end

 

Woman, You don't know what you ask

Woman, You don’t know what you ask

 

To take your cross, to follow Jesus

To be baptized, to drink the cup

 

You don't know, you dont know

What it means, to take your cross

To follow Jesus, and be baptized

To take your cross and follow me

 

To take your cross and follow Jesus

To the end
