I
I WAS GUILTY WITH NOTHING TO SAY
THEY WERE COMING TO TAKE ME AWAY.
THEN A VOICE FROM HEAVEN WAS HEARD
LET HER GO TAKE ME INSTEAD.
II
A CROWN OF THORNS AND A SPEAR IN HIS SIDE
AND ALL THE PAIN THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN MINE
THE RUSTY NAILS THAT WERE MEANT JUST FOR ME
OH CHRIST TOOK THEM AND LET ME GO FREE.
CHORUS
OH I SHOULD HAVE BEEN CRUCIFIED
I SHOULD HAVE SUFFERED AND DIED.
I SHOULD HAVE HUNG ON THE CROSS IN HIS PLACE
BUT JESUS, GOD'S SON, TOOK MY PLACE.
