I Should Have Been Crucified

I was guilty with nothing to say
And they were coming to take me away
When a voice from Heaven was heard that said
"Let him go, take me instead"

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

The crown of thorns, a spear deep in His side
And the pain should have been mine
The rusty nails were meant just for me
Yet Christ took them and then let me go free

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

I should have hung on that old cross in disgrace
But Jesus, God's Son, took my place
