I was not there that day,
When they sentenced You to death.
I was not there the hour,
You took Your final breath.
I was not there that day,
They made You walk down that road.
I was not ther the hour,
Simon helped you carry Your load.
I was not there that day,
The thorns were placed on Your head.
I was not there the hour,
"Father forgive them were the words you said."
I was not there that day,
The nails pierced Your hands and feet.
I was not there the day,
Your work on earth complete.
I was not there that day,
Your blood paid my price for sin.
I was not there the hour,
You paid so a new life I could begin.
I was not there, my Lord,
But you paid the price so high.
I was not there, my Savior,
To participate in Your death,
or was I?
