letra de the one who was there - anna miriam brown

[man 1, spoken}
jesus, you call yourself a rabbi and we ask your wisdom on a matter of the law

[jesus, spoken]
of course

[man 2, spoken]
this woman, this harlot, was caught in adultery, in the very act

[man 1, spoken]
the law clearly states she is to be stoned to death

{man 2, spoken]
what do you say?

[jesus, spoken]
what do i say?
… ashra

[ashra, spoken]
who are you? how do you know my name?

[jesus, spoken]
you don’t recognize me?

[ashra, spoken]
… no
[verse, jesus}
you’ve been running for so long
i wish you would have looked back and saw
i wasn’t chasing with ropes and chains to
lock you up and put you in a cage
i was there with open arms
i was ready to hold you and heal you

[ashra, spoken]
wait. how did you know that i needed healing?

[chorus, jesus]
’cause i feel your pain
pain weighing down the heart in my chest
soon that weight with lift and you will rest

[jesus, spoken]
you don’t need to free yourself, i’ll free you
if you just

[jesus, sung]
come to me
come to me
come to me
come to me
come to me
come to me
[ashra, spoken]
… yahweh?

[verse, jesus]
i’m sure you’re surprised
that i’d show my face here
but i couldn’t stay there
while they take your life
you life has brought pain, dear
your pain needs a savior
so, i’ll be your light
i heard when you cried and you offered your life
if i’d just provide
food for your mouth while your soul starved and died

[bridge, jesus]
ashra, when i looked down from my heavenly seat
our eyes met, but my heart skipped a beat
you were looking for a light, but that light was me
so, now i’m here to complete
ashra, will you pray it, though your prayer is uncertain?
safe there behind my curtain
i promise that i heard your cry, but i
wanted to talk in person
and you ask me who i am
[chorus, jesus]
i’m the one who was there
in the deepest, deadest, darkest part of your night
i’m the one who was there
when matthias ran scared and left you to fend for your life
i’m the one who was there
when you cried on the stairs of my house like i left you to die
i’m the one who was there
when you gave him your prayers and [?] your baby survived
i’m the one who was there
when you couldn’t bear your sight so you let in the devil to darken your eyes
i’m the one who was there
when you said you weren’t scared of the dark, so the dark came inside
i’m the one who was there
when you asked if i made you to try and then burn and then die
i’m the one who was there
in the deepest, deadest, darkest part of your night
i’m the one with the light

[jesus, spoken]
whoever has never sinned may throw the first stone

[ashra, sung]
stones hit the ground all around me
the sound is astounding
i’m finding you found me
and ground me with beauty and honor
you’ve made me a daughter
as if you knew me
and saw right through me too

[jesus, sung]
neither do i condemn you
you’re free, you’re free, you’re free

[ashra, sung]
i am finally free
