lyrics

Were You There

Verse 1
Were you there when they crucified my Lord?
Were you there when they crucified my Lord?
O sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble.
Were you there when they crucified my Lord?

Verse 2
Were you there when they nailed Him to the tree?
Were you there when they nailed Him to the tree?
O sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble.
Were you there when they nailed Him to the tree?

Verse 3
Were you there when they pierced Him in the side?
Were you there when they pierced Him in the side?
O sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble.
Were you there when they pierced Him in the side?

Verse 4
Were you there when the sun refused to shine?
Were you there when the sun refused to shine?
O sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble.
Were you there when the sun refused to shine?

Verse 5
Were you there when they laid Him in the tomb?
Were you there when they laid Him in the tomb?
O sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble.
Were you there when they laid Him in the tomb?
