He Took My Place
Faixa 9
My name was called But not for dying Chains came loose The crowd turned wild
I knew the blood that stained my record I knew the weight that should be mine Then I saw him take the road, my road But he took my place, he took my place
The innocent beneath my blame He took my place, he took my place I walked away while love wore my chains
I was the one the cross was waiting for Violent hands, a rebel’s name But heaven chose the spotless prisoner And let the guilty walk away
Then I saw him take the wood, my wood He took my place, he took my place
The innocent beneath my blame He took my place, he took my place I walked away while love wore my chains
We are Barabbas, everyone The guilty spare, the Holy One No plea to make, no price to raise Just mercy written in exchanged names
My cross, his shoulders My shame His wounds, my freedom His blood
He took my place He took my place The innocent beneath my blade He took my place. He took my place. I walked away while love wore my chains.
He took my place My cross, his name He took my place
