I Was There

x3 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.
