should have been me

You bore the nails

that were meant for me

driven into Your precious hands

with the blow of a hammer

driven

into Your feet

You went to the cross

beaten, bloodied, weak

You went

when it should have been me

You went, to pay the price

sin's price

no one else could pay

sinless You went

as they stood round

this crowd some laughing

shouting insults

this crowd, some weeping

shouting, begging for mercy

You went to the cross

beaten and bloodied

to die

You went, out of love

out of obedience

knowing the Father's plan

of love

of forgiveness

when it should have been me

You spent three days

in a borrowed tomb

as You had told

as no one, had understood

then risen, You've arisen

sin's bonds broken

the price paid

as You walked out

arisen

having paid the price

when it should have been me
