Getting Ready For Easter

Did you remember the ore, son
Did you remember the ore
I remembered

Did you remember the charcoal, son
Did you remember the charcoal
I remembered

Did you remember the fire, son
Did you remember the fire
I remembered

Did you remember the smith, son
Did you remember the smith
I remembered

I taught the smith to use a fire
how to turn black charcoal
into a glowing furnace
to melt dark gray ore
how to turn ore into iron
how to beat iron into shape
how to make three eight inch nails
that a Roman soon will take
and nail me to a cross
I remembered, Dad
I remembered
