Текст песни Peter At The Breaking Of The Bread (Graham Kendrick) с переводом

Well, I was standing in the shadows

At the breaking of the bread,

As He touched the cup in silence

At the bowing of his head,

And Judas stole out silently

As hushed the prayers were said.

I knew this was Jesus

at the breaking of the bread

Well, I was standing in the shadows

Of the cool Gethsemane,

Trying hard to disbelieve

What my weary eyes could clearly see.

The lights, the cries, the flash of steel,

In the shadow of an outstretched tree

I knew this was Jesus

But I could not foresee.

Well, I was standing in the shadows

As the prisoner was led,

Trying not to tremble

At the turning of his head

Trying not to notice

At the breaking of His heart.

I knew this was Jesus

and soon He will be dead.

Well, I was standing in the shadows

At the throwing of the dice,

Wishing I was twenty thousand men,

Man I would take that soldier’s life.

But Jesus looked down quietly,

Forgiveness in his eyes.

I knew that this was Jesus

Such love comes as a surprise.

Well, I was standing in the shadows,

Man I wished I’d not been born,

Rubbing shoulders with the soldier boys

Who laughed and mocked to scorn my Lord.

I could hardly recognise His face,

His body was so torn

I knew this was Jesus

and soon He will be dead.

At the breaking of the dawn

I stood and watched the place

Where they had laid His body down

But on the stone bed, where they laid him dead,

No body could be found.

Then a man in white, a dazzling sight

With a voice of triumph said:

'He is alive! He is alive!

He is alive! He is alive!'
