There I Was Lyrics

They were gathered at Mount Calvary,
I had never seen such rage.
As the object of their hatred,
on the cross was being raised.
I had never heard such viciousness
As when they all cried "Crucify"
As I gazed across that angry mob
I could scarce believe my eyes
There I was (There I was)
I was standing in that crowd.
The voice He heard (the voice He heard)
It was mine without a doubt.
When the hammer hit the nail
sin was wrapped tight in my hand
There I was, in the crowd
that crucified the Lamb.

When I saw the love deep in His face
my heart completely broke in two.
I had never cried such bitter tears
His eyes said "This is all for you."
Now years passed by and so have I
and now I stand on streets of gold
As I view the multitude, it's true,
the half has never yet been told.
There I was (There I was)
I was standing in that crowd
The voice He heard ( the voice He heard),
it was mine without a doubt.
And when we threw the crowns we all fell down
crying "Worthy is the Lamb!"
There I was in the crowd
that crowned the great I Am
There I was in the crowd that crowned
the great I Am
