John Kruger - I Was There Lyrics

I was there when he was arrested in the garden
I was there when they crowned Him with thorns
I was there when they accused Him to His face
I was there when He was mocked and scorned
I was there when they nailed Him to the cross
I was there when they gambled for His clothes
I was there when He proclaimed it is finished
When He paid off a debt that He did not owe
I was there even though I had not been born
I was there because of my sins He had to bare
I was there even though I had not been born
His forgiveness was freely given to me there
I was there when they buried Him in the tomb
I was there when His friends all gathered in fear
I was there when the women went to His grave
And the angel told them that He is not here
I was there when He showed up in their room
I was there when He showed His hands and feet
I was there when He ascended back to His father
I was there as He handed the Devil his defeat
I was there even though I had not been born
I was there because of my sins He had to bare
I was there even though I had not been born
His forgiveness was freely given to me there
I was there even long before I was even alive
I was there as He was paying for my salvation
I was there as He was fulfilling His father's plan
To provide His forgiveness for all of His creation
I was there even though I had not even been born
I had not even been born, yet I was there
I give thanks God that He invited me there
