barbara fairchild - i was there lyrics

[verse 1]
if i could have been the robe you wore
i would have held you close
and caressed your wounds
from the whips’ cruel blows
if i could have been the wind
i would have cooled your face
when it was bruised and battered
and spat on in disgrace

[chorus]
but i was there in the crown of th+rns that cut your head
i was in the curses the angry crowd said
i was in the stripes that caused your sinless blood to flow
and i was in the nails that held you to the cross so long ago
i was there

[verse 2]
when you said out loud, “i thirst”
if the sponge had been my lips
i would have whispered, “i love you”
and given you a kiss
if i had been the clouds
i would have cried rain tears
when you cried, “it is finished”
and they pierced you with a spear
[chorus]
but i was there in the crown of th+rns that cut your head
i was in the curses the angry crowd said
i was in the stripes that caused your sinless blood to flow
and i was in the nails that held you to the cross so long ago
i was there

[bridge]
i couldn’t choose back then where i would be
but with your life you gave that choice to me
but now i give myself to you
because you gave yourself for me

[chorus]
i was in the stripes that caused your sinless blood to flow
i was in the nails that held you to the cross so long ago
i was there

[outro]
lord, i was there
