Were You There When They Crucified My Lord?

Verse

Were you there when the nails bit deep and cold

When the sky turned black and the story told

Did your hands hold back did your heart grow stone

Were you there when He bore it all alone

Chorus

Oh sometimes it staggers me to stand

To see the weight carried by one hand

The sigh of sorrow cutting through the night

Were you there oh were you there that frightful sight

Verse 2

Were you there when the thorns crowned His grace

When His blood carved lines on a wearied face

Did you turn away did you cry or stare

Were you there when the burden laid Him bare

Bridge

Oh the echoes they linger on the hill

The silence screaming louder still

Can you feel the cost of each tear shed

Were you there when He gave His life and bled

Verse 3

Were you there when the heavens broke apart

When the truth of love pierced every heart

Did you feel the crack in the world’s cruel shell

Were you there when it crushed the gates of hell

Chorus

Oh sometimes it staggers me to stand

To see the weight carried by one hand

The sigh of sorrow cutting through the night

Were you there oh were you there that frightful sight
