Were you there?
In a garden called Gethsemane, my Lord was in prayer
A crowd rushed upon, this precious Nazarite
And He was betrayed by a friend, as shouts filled the air
Yes when they arrested my Jesus, I was there
Take Him to the Sanhedrin, we will charge Him in court
This Man is not a king, but a Galilean Jew
Give false witness against Him, to lies we'll resort
Peter deny Him three times, before that unholy crew
I was in that courtyard, and denied Him too
We do not have the right, to perform the execution
To Pilate we'll take, this Man from Galilee
Roman justice will give us, the final solution
This King shall be crucified, and Barabbas set free
Did you walk with Jesus, to Calvary?
Give Him thirty-nine lashes, with a three-pronged whip
Fulfill the prophecy, by His stripes we will heal
Let the barbs sink in, give His back a good rip
Swing with your might, and watch the skin peel
I heard every crack, and witnessed His ordeal
