I Should Have Been Crucified

I was guilty with nothing to say
They were coming to take me away
Then a voice from Heaven was heard that said
"Let him go and take me instead"

But I should have been crucified
(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

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

But I should have been crucified
(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

Yes, Jesus, God's Son, took my place
