I Did it for You

As I walk up, I see a crowd of people

Everyone gathered round something.

3 men held high on crosses.

2 thieves...and Him.

I cast lots for His clothes.

I laugh and point at Him.

I hammer the nails through His flesh.

I push the crown of thorns on his brow.

I write out a sign... "KING OF THE JEWS".

I hammer it to the cross.

I lift Him in the air on it.

I stab the spear through his side.

I hear Him cry out...

"FORGIVE THEM FATHER, 

FOR THEY KNOW NOT WHAT THEY DO!"

...and the I see me hitting my knees.

At the base of the cross I put Him on...

and He looks down at me

He speaks to me.

I look up with tear stained cheeks

As he breathes out "I did this for you."

I am Barabbas.

I am Judas.

And still...He died for me.
