Were You There

WERE YOU THERE?

Were you there when they rolled the stone away?

Were you there that dark and gloomy day?

Were you there the day He gave His life?

Were you there the day He paid the price?

I wasn’t there to see His face

But I’m so glad He took my place

Were you there when they crucified my Lord?

Were you there when they pierced Him in His side?

Were you there the day He bled and died?

Were you there when they nailed Him to the tree?

Were you there when He died on Calvary?

I wasn’t there to see His face

But I’m so glad He took my place

Were you there when they crucified my Lord?

The cross could not kill Him.

The grave could not hold Him.

And Satan thought he had won.

He rose on the third day with authority and power

He reigns forevermore

They despised Him, rejected Him…..but He lives

Blameless, exalted…..He lives

Glory and majesty…..He lives

He reigns, the conquering King…..He lives

They despised Him, rejected Him…..but He lives

Blameless, exalted…..He lives

Glory and majesty…..He lives

He reigns, the conquering King…..He lives

Savior, Master…..He lives

Redeemer, my Ruler…..He lives

Glory, honor, dominion, power, forever and ever…..He lives

[5x]

I wasn’t there to see His face

But I’m so glad He took my place

Were you there when they crucified my Lord?
