I am Barabbas Lyrics

I am Barabbas - Josiah Queen

...

They said this preacher man comes from Galilee

Did somethin' 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 somethin' like this doesn't ring a bell

How can it be?

And how can it be?

I am Barabbas

You took upon my cross

I was a prisoner

'Til 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 havе been on my own skin

How can it be?

How can it be? (Woah)

And I am Barabbas

You took upon my cross

I was a prisoner

'Til You bought my bond with blood

And I can't run away

From what my accusеrs say

'Cause I am Barabbas

I am Barabbas

Your friend (Ooh, ooh-ooh)

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 that prisoner

'Til 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
