Words & Music written by Gordon Jensen

VERSE 1:
I was guilty with nothing to say,
And they were coming to take me away;
But then a voice from Heaven was heard that said,
“Let him go take me instead.”

CHORUS:
But I should have been crucified;
I should have suffered and died.
I should have hung on that cross in disgrace,
But Jesus God’s son took my place.

VERSE 2:
A crown, of thorns a spear deep in His side,
And all the pain that should have been yours & mine.
Those rusty nails were meant just for me,
Oh but Christ took them and then let me go free.

CHORUS:
And I should have been crucified;
I should have suffered and died.
I should have hung on that old cross in disgrace;
But Jesus God’s son took my place.

TAG:
Yes, Jesus God's Son took my place.
