VERSE 1 I was guilty with nothing to say And they were coming to take me away But then a voice from Heaven was heard that said "Let Him go and take me instead"
CHORUS I should have been crucified I should have suffered and died I should have hung on the cross in disgrace But Jesus, God's Son, took my place
VERSE 2 Crowns of thorns, the spear deep in His side And those pains should have been mine Those rusty nails were meant for me Oh Jesus took them and let me go free
REPEAT CHORUS I should have been crucified I should have suffered and died I should have hung on the cross in disgrace But Jesus, God's Son, His only Son Yes, His precious Son, took my place
