I Am Barabbas
They said this preacher man comes from Galilee
Did something so absurd that He deserved to serve my penalty
How can it be?
I know I've done my wrong 'cause doin' wrong is somethin' I do well
I know the court of law and something like this doesn't ring a bell
// How can it be? //
I am Barabbas, you took upon my cross
I was a prisoner until You bought my bond with blood
And I can't run away
From what my accusers say
'Cause I am Barabbas
I am Barabbas, Your friend
They made me sit right there as I watched them beat that preacher man
Thirty-nine of all them lashes should have been on my own skin
// How can it be? //
Whoa, I am Barabbas, you took upon my cross
I was a prisoner until You bought my bond with blood
And I can't run away
From what my accusers say
'Cause I am Barabbas
I am Barabbas, Your friend
I'll never understand the repercussions of my every sin
Is this love or is this hatred flowing out from bitterness?
How can it be?
But He looked at me
And I said I am Barabbas, you took upon my cross
I was a prisoner until You bought my bond with blood
And I can't run away
From what my accusers say
'Cause I am Barabbas, oh, I am Barabbas
I am Barabbas, Your friend
