Audrey Gordon - I Am Free Lyrics
I AM FREEWriter: Audrey Gordon ©2004, All Rights Reserved1.Lord when I saw you standing there alone in Pilate’s judgment hall that dayI heard the words, all the slursHow could I believe what they say?Heard all the lies, all their talesHow could they even treat you that way?But it was for meCHORUS: And I, I should have stood in the hall that dayBut you took my place, paid the price for my sin and disgraceYou bore the pain, took the blameI could hear when you call out my nameThat I was free2.And then I saw when they lead you away to CalvarySaw when they gave you the cross to carrySaw when they mocked and they jeered and they scourged theeSo I could be freeCHORUS: And I, I should have carried the cross that dayBut you took my place, paid the price for my sin and disgraceYou bore the shame, took the blameI could hear when you call out my nameThat I was free3.And then I saw when they drove all the nails in your handsHeard their remarks, their rebukes and all their accusationsHeard when they laughed, saw the blood and the reed that they placed in your handsSo I would be freeCHORUS: And I, I should have hung on the cross that dayBut you took my place, paid the price for my sin and disgraceYou bore the shame, took the blameI could hear when you call out my nameThat I was free4.Then I saw when the blood flowed down from your wounded sideSaw when you gasped and you held down your head and diedThen the graves opened and I hung my head I cried, I criedThank God, I am freeCHORUS: And I, I should have died on the cross that dayBut you took my place, paid the price for my sin and disgraceBore the my pain, took the blameI could hear when you call out my nameThat I was freeCHORUS: And I, I should have hung on the cross that dayBut you took my place, paid the price for my sin and disgraceBore the shame, took the shameI could hear when you call out my name, my name, my name, That I was free
