(Verse 1)
Were you there when they crucified my Lord
Were you there when they crucified my Lord
Oh, sometimes I tremble
(Chorus)
It was me that cursed your name
I rolled the dice your robe to gain
I forced a spear into your side
Three times that day Lord I denied
I was there, I was there
(Verse 2)
Were you there when they laid him in the tomb
Were you there when he rose up from the grave
Oh, sometimes I tremble
(Bridge)
But I’m forgiven, this cleansing flood that washes over me
I’m forgiven; I’m covered in your love
Behind the Song:“Were You There” was a song I used to do with a friend during communion services. I loved the lyrics and started working on the track, when all of a sudden, the chorus came flowing out. I quickly realized that we were all there and played a part in the crucifixion of our Savior." - Barry Blaze (
