Audrey Gordon - I Am Free lyrics

I AM FREE Writer: Audrey Gordon ©2004, All Rights Reserved 1. Lord when I saw you standing there alone in Pilate I heard the words, all the slurs How could I believe what they say? Heard all the lies, all their tales How could they even treat you that way? But it was for me CHORUS: And I, I should have stood in the hall that day But you took my place, paid the price for my sin and disgrace You bore the pain, took the blame I could hear when you call out my name That I was free 2. And then I saw when they lead you away to Calvary Saw when they gave you the cross to carry Saw when they mocked and they jeered and they scourged thee So I could be free CHORUS: And I, I should have carried the cross that day But you took my place, paid the price for my sin and disgrace You bore the shame, took the blame I could hear when you call out my name That I was free 3. And then I saw when they drove all the nails in your hands Heard their remarks, their rebukes and all their accusations Heard when they laughed, saw the blood and the reed that they placed in your hands So I would be free CHORUS: And I, I should have hung on the cross that day But you took my place, paid the price for my sin and disgrace You bore the shame, took the blame I could hear when you call out my name That I was free 4. Then I saw when the blood flowed down from your wounded side Saw when you gasped and you held down your head and died Then the graves opened and I hung my head I cried, I cried Thank God, I am free CHORUS: And I, I should have died on the cross that day But you took my place, paid the price for my sin and disgrace Bore the my pain, took the blame I could hear when you call out my name That I was free CHORUS: And I, I should have hung on the cross that day But you took my place, paid the price for my sin and disgrace Bore the shame, took the shame I could hear when you call out my name, my name, my name, That I was free
