I am BARABBAS, a rebel a prisoner Death was the sentence for me
Led before Pilate I stood there beside him this man some were calling a King.
And as the crowd shouted "Crucify Him!" The soldiers let me go free
What kind of man guilty of nothing would suffer the shame and disgrace?
Hang on a cross despised and rejected and willing to die in my place
At Calvary for someone like me?
My name is THOMAS, for three years I followed I saw every wonder and sign
They say He has risen that His grave is empty but I can’t believe He’s alive
Now standing before me Jesus shows me the scars in His hands and in His side
What kind of man embraces a doubter lovingly drawing me near?
I don’t have to wonder if I’ve been accepted He settled the worry and fear
At Calvary for someone like me?
My name is PETER, I knew him and loved him but OH how I failed Him that night
I promised Jesus that I’d never leave Him I’d willingly lay down my life
But there at the trial I stood by the fire I denied him three times!
What kind of man pours out his mercy on someone who stumbles and falls?
With no way to earn it no way to deserve it forgiveness still came after all
At Calvary for someone like me?
I’ve been Barabbas the guilty set free
And I’ve been Thomas the doubter redeemed
And I have been Peter…. I’ve been all three.
What kind of man bleeds for the worthless and saves him whatever it takes?
What kind of man would rescue the sinner and offer Amazing Grace
At Calvary, at Calvary for someone like me? For someone like me!
