Old Roman Soldier

G                   D
Betrayed for thirty pieces of silver
              C         G
Abused by the people He loved
            G7      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      D   D7
He was looking down on me
G      C         G
I'm an old roman soldier

              D7         G
In His eyes I saw His compassion
                  C            
On His cheeks the tracks of His

tears
                G7             
On His back the stripes that He 
 C
suffered
       G        D7            G
In His side the wound from my spear

[Chorus]
C                 G
Jesus said Father forgive them
               A7      D   D7
He was looking down on me
