Either Him or Me
From my prison cell I watched them play the cruel game
With just a man, a blindfold, and a purple robe of shame
They struck the man upon his face and said in mockery
Prophecy and tell us was it either him or me
Then they brought him to my cell and said man don't you know
Barabbas, you're the peoples choice he'll die you're free to go
Later as I watched them take his life on Calvary
I told myself a thousand times it was either him or me
Either him or me
He took my place on Calvary
I'm so unworthy to be free
But it was either him or me
There inside sin's prison walls bound with chains so strong
Awaiting death, the wages for which I had worked so long
And knowing hell awaited me in eternity
The warden said there was no hope for either him or me
But then I stumbled by the prison window where I saw
A wounded man upon a cross who died for one and all
I knew that somehow through his death that I could be set free
That's when I put my faith in him
It was either him or me
Either him or me
He took my place on Calvary
I'm so unworthy to be free
But it was either him or me
He took my place on Calvary
But it was either him or me
With just a man, a blindfold, and a purple robe of shame
They struck the man upon his face and said in mockery
Prophecy and tell us was it either him or me
Then they brought him to my cell and said man don't you know
Barabbas, you're the peoples choice he'll die you're free to go
Later as I watched them take his life on Calvary
I told myself a thousand times it was either him or me
Either him or me
He took my place on Calvary
I'm so unworthy to be free
But it was either him or me
There inside sin's prison walls bound with chains so strong
Awaiting death, the wages for which I had worked so long
And knowing hell awaited me in eternity
The warden said there was no hope for either him or me
But then I stumbled by the prison window where I saw
A wounded man upon a cross who died for one and all
I knew that somehow through his death that I could be set free
That's when I put my faith in him
It was either him or me
Either him or me
He took my place on Calvary
I'm so unworthy to be free
But it was either him or me
He took my place on Calvary
But it was either him or me
