With Him I Can Find No Fault
(the Crucifixion as seen through the eyes of Pilate)
What crime did this Man commit?
Is He charged with murder or assault?
What complaint do they have against this Man?
With Him I can find no fault.
I desire an end to their angry shouts.
I just want this mystery solved.
Why must they drag me into their drama
when I do not want to be involved?
The way this angry mob is acting,
they would tear this Man limb from limb.
These people have only one thing on their minds
as they all cry, “Crucify Him”.
My wife came and pleaded with me.
She told me of her frightening dream
which clearly has been a warning
that I must have nothing to do with this scheme.
It seems there is no recourse left to me
as the situation now stands.
I must turn this Jesus over to them.
I will not have His blood on my hands.
