roy acuff - were you there when they crucified my lord (1958 version) acuff lyrics

were you there when they crucified my lord? (were you there?)
were you there when they crucified my lord?
ohhhh, sometimes it causes me to tremble (tremble, tremble, tremble)
were you there when they crucified my lord?

there is a legend that, at the time of the crucifixion, the dogwood had been the size of the oak and other forest trees. so firm and strong was the tree that it was chosen as the timber for the cross. to be used for such a cruel purpose greatly distressed the tree, and jesus, nailed upon it, knew this, and in his gentle pity for all sorrow and suffering, said this to the tree:

because of your regret and pity of my suffering, never again shall the dogwood tree grow large enough to be used as a cross. henceforth, it shall be bent and twisted, and its blossoms shall be in the form of a cross: two long and two short petals. and in the center of the outer edge of each petal there will be nail prints, brown with rust and stained with red, and in the center of the flower shall be a crown of th+rns, and all who see it will remember

were you there when they nailed him to the cross? (were you there?)
were you there when they nailed him to the cross?
ohhhh, sometimes it causes me to tremble (tremble, tremble, tremble)
were you there when they nailed him to the cross? (were you there?)
