Shai Linne - Were You There? lyrics

This story starts at the climax
We find that time's lapsed- don't mind that
It's kind of like a night
Cap filled with divine acts
We zoom in the lens on
Christ's agony on the garden
Doomed for His friends- His
Tragedy for our pardon
Foreseeing the Father's cup of wrath
Has Him stifled and weak
He's sweating blood with His disciples asleep
The Prince of Peace knows
The beef shall increase
Since the thief approaches with the
Soldiers and the chief priests
His arrest is not just- neither is the trial
While Jesus is being treated foul
He sees Peter's denial
He's sent to Pilate, to Herod, back to Pilate
The violence of humanity at it's finest
So now He stands before the
Crowd doomed to die
An angry mob who's yelling out "crucify"
The way they treat the Lord of
Glory is debased and it's foul
But, you miss the point if you don't
See your face in the crowd
Were you there when they crucified my Lord?
Were you there? Were you there?
Were you there? Were you there?
Were you there? Were you there?
Were you there? Were you there?
Man, sometimes it causes me to tremble
Yo, sometimes it causes me to tremble

This story starts at the climax
We find that time's lapsed- don't mind that
It's kind of like a night
Cap filled with divine acts
We zoom in the lens on
Christ's agony in the garden
Doomed for His friends- it had
To be for the pardon
And delivery from misery of
Kids who speak wickedly
Sinfully, inwardly slick with the iniquity
We see disciples sleep and mock today
With a lot to say
But we do the same thing when
We don't watch and pray like Judas
We sell Christ out to get the treasure
Whether it's the cheddar
Or forbidden pleasure
Like the chief priests
We want Christ to surrender
But we want Him out the way
When He doesn't fit our agenda
Like Peter, we have misplaced
Fleshly confidence
But we'll deny the Lord when
Faced with deadly consequence like Herod
We're curious about Christ
Because He's famous
But we quickly get bored with Him
When He doesn't entertain us like Pilate
We see Christ and find nothing wrong with Him
But when the world chooses the wicked
We go right along with them
Despite His kindness
We seek to do our Maker violence
The fallenness of humanity at it's finest
So now He stands before the
Crowd doomed to die
An angry mob who's yelling out "crucify"
The way they treat the Lord of
Glory is debased and it's foul
But, you miss the point if you don't
See your face in the crowd

Were you there when they crucified my Lord?
Were you there? Were you there?
Were you there? Were you there?
Were you there? Were you there?
Were you there? Were you there?
Man, sometimes it causes me to tremble
Yo, sometimes it causes me to tremble

This story starts at the climax
We find that time's lapsed- don't mind that
It's kind of like a night
Cap filled with divine acts
We zoom in the lens on
Christ's agony on the garden
Doomed for His friends- His
Tragedy for our pardon
Foreseeing the Father's cup of wrath- it
Has Him stifled and weak
He's sweating blood with His disciples asleep
The Prince of Peace knows
The beef shall increase
Since the thief approaches with the
Soldiers and the chief priests
His arrest is not just- neither is the trial
While Jesus is being treated foul
He sees Peter's denial
He's sent to Pilate, to Herod, back to Pilate
The violence of humanity at it's finest
So now He stands before the
Crowd doomed to die
An angry mob who's yelling out "crucify"
The way we treat the Lord of
Glory is debased and it's foul
Ashamed, I bow because I see
My face in the crowd

Were you there when they crucified my Lord?
Were you there? Were you there?
Were you there? Were you there?
Were you there? Were you there?
Were you there? Were you there?
Man, sometimes it causes me to tremble
Yo, sometimes it causes me to tremble
