I WASN’T THERE.

I didn’t get to touch the hem of His garment

But I was surely touched by His rugged cross

I received just enough of His precious blood

To keep me eternally from being lost

CHORUS

No I wasn’t there to see Him crucified

No I didn’t hear as His enemies cried

Give us Barabbas and let him go free

But crucify that Jesus up on Calvary

--------------------------------------------------

I didn’t get to hear His sermon on the mount

Nor did I get to see Him rise from the grave

But I received by faith what He did for me

And through Him from all sin I am now saved

REPEAT CHORUS

SECOND CHORUS

No I wasn’t there to see Him as He died

I didn’t drive that spear into His precious side

I never swung that whip that cut into His flesh

But still I was as guilty as all of the rest

TAG: No I wasn’t there but still I was guilty
