I am Barabbas Lyrics

They said that this preacher man

Comes from Galilee

Did something so absurd that he deserved this penalty

How can it be?

I know I've done my wrongs

And doing wrong is something I do well

I know the court of law and something like this doesn't ring a bell

How can it be?

How can this be?

I am Barabbas

You took upon my cross

I was that prisoner

Till you bought my bond with blood

I can't run away

From what my accusers say

I am Barabbas your friend

They made me sit right there

As I watched them beat the preacher man

39 of all them lashes should've been on my own skin

How can it be?

How can this be?

I am Barabbas

You took upon my cross

I was that prisoner

Till you bought my bond with blood

I can't run away

From what my accusers say

I am Barabbas your friend

I'll never comprehend the

Repercussions of my every sins

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

Till you bought my bond with blood

I can't run away

From what my accusers say

I am Barabbas

I am Barabbas

I am Barabbas your friend
