Lyrics of
I Was There

I?d like to think if I was there
In the garden as you prayed and cried
I would have stayed awake for you
So you were not alone at that time
But in truth I can see,
although I stand here now,
a part of me
Was there in the garden
Asleep on the ground
When you needed companions
And there was no-one around
And I?m sorry I left you
To the anguish and pain
And but for the grace of God
I?d fall asleep again
I?d like to think if I was there
As the crowd demanded crucify
I would have been a louder voice
Calling out to them ?what is his crime?
But in truth I can see,
although I stand here now,
a part of me
Was there in the rabble
When your crime was declared
And I cried out for your life
Let Barabbas be spared
And I?m sorry I left you
To the mocking and scorn
And but for the grace of God
I hear my angry voice alone
Were you there, when they crucified the Lord?
Were you there, when they crucified the Lord?
I?d like to think if I was there
Watching as you took your final breath
I?d have known you?d rise again
I would?ve remembered all the words you?d said
But in truth I can see,
although I stand here now,
a part of me
Was scared and embarrassed
As I watched you die
I believed you were king
But you did not even fight
And I?m sorry I forgot
All you?d said and done
And but for the grace of God
I?d turn away and run
I was there, when they crucified my Lord
I was there, when they crucified my Lord
Just listen to the CD to get the chord changes spot on.
