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
