A thief I was, a liar too
The good i did was short of few
I never thought to seek of you
Yet stand we here together
I never thought I would be caught
But too much pain I chose to raught
So, for me, they often sought
Til here, we stand together.
My freedom I do not deserve
My evil deeds are well preserved
Yet in the crowd, I hear the words
Let go and free Barabbas!
My heart once swallowed deep in sorrow
Grew light, for there would be tomorrow
But it only came from being borrowed
From the man stood at my side.
And as I rush into the crowd
I look back up with freedom found
My sins no longer held me down
Because this man that stood with me.
And for a moment swear I saw
A tear drop down a gentle nod
His eyes locked on, I stood in awe
His sacrifice brought me freedom.
