Lyrics

Were you there when
They cru­ci­fied my Lord?
Were you there when
They cru­ci­fied my Lord?
Oh! Some­times it caus­es me
To trem­ble, trem­ble, trem­ble.
Were you there when
They cru­ci­fied my Lord?

Were you there when
They nailed Him to the tree?
Were you there when
They nailed Him to the tree?
Oh! Some­times it caus­es me
To trem­ble, trem­ble, trem­ble.
Were you there when
They nailed Him to the tree?

Were you there when
They laid Him in the tomb?
Were you there when
They laid Him in the tomb?
Oh! Some­times it caus­es me
To trem­ble, trem­ble, trem­ble.
Were you there when
They laid Him in the tomb?

Were you there when
God raised Him from the tomb?
Were you there when
God raised Him from the tomb?
Oh! Some­times it caus­es me
To trem­ble, trem­ble, trem­ble.
Were you there when
God raised Him from the tomb?
