Were You There When They Crucified My Lord? (Dawn)

[Verse] Were you there when the nails bit deep and cold When the sky turned black and the story told Did your hands hold back did your heart grow stone Were you there when He bore it all alone [Chorus] Oh sometimes it staggers me to stand To see the weight carried by one hand The sigh of sorrow cutting through the night Were you there oh were you there that frightful sight [Verse 2] Were you there when the thorns crowned His grace When His blood carved lines on a wearied face Did you turn away did you cry or stare Were you there when the burden laid Him bare [Bridge] Oh the echoes they linger on the hill The silence screaming louder still Can you feel the cost of each tear shed Were you there when He gave His life and bled [Verse 3] Were you there when the heavens broke apart When the truth of love pierced every heart Did you feel the crack in the world’s cruel shell Were you there when it crushed the gates of hell [Chorus] Oh sometimes it staggers me to stand To see the weight carried by one hand The sigh of sorrow cutting through the night Were you there oh were you there that frightful sight
