letra de crucifixion - david meece

[verse 1: there once lived a man]
there once lived a man, so unique, so divine
he promised new life
healed the sick
ended pain

[verse 2: there once lived a man]
and then ’cause he loved
’cause he showed his love
people hated him, they hated him
they hated this thing called “love”
[verse 3: there once lived a man]
he grew tall and strong
built a life, did nothing wrong
and he loved everything
every brook
every stream

[verse 4: there once lived a man]
and then, ’cause he loved us so much
he died
he died
he died for this thing called “love”

[verse 1: ten thousand angels]
so they bound the hands of jesus in the garden where he prayed
and they led him through the streets in shame
and they spat upon the savior, so pure and free from sin
and they said, “crucify him; he’s to blame.”

[verse 2: ten thousand angels]
and upon his precious head
you know, they placed a crown of th-rns
and they laughed
they laughed and said, “behold your king!”
and then they struck him, and they cursed him
and they mocked his holy name
and, all alone, he suffered everything
[chorus: ten thousand angels]
and he could have called ten thousand angels
to destroy the world and set himself free
he could have called ten thousand angels
but he died alone
for you and for me

[verse 4: ten thousand angels]
to the howling mob, he yielded
he did not for mercy cry
and the cross of shame, he bore all alone
and when he cried, “it’s finished,”
and he gave himself to die
salvation’s wondrous plan was done

[chorus: ten thousand angels]
and he could have called ten thousand angels
to destroy the world
set himself free (set him free)
he could have called ten thousand angels
but he died alone
for you and for me

[chorus: ten thousand angels]
don’t you know he could have called (he could have called)
ten thousand angels
oh, lord, oh to destroy the world
and set himself free (set him free)
he could have called (he could have called)
ten thousand angels
but he died alone
for you and for me
yes, he died alone
for you and me
[the bystander, spoken]
what’s going on over there? i-uh, i see they’re k!lling somebody else, huh? what’d they do, huh? step in caesar’s rose garden or something? seriously though, what’d they do wrong? obviously, they’re guilty of something or the romans wouldn’t be k!lling them already. you don’t know?

well, i guess they don’t really need a reason anymore, you know. i see there are three of them this time. next thing they’ll be in groups, you know. no, they won’t stop ’til we’re all dead, man

hey, wait a minute. hey, wait a minute, man. the-the guy in the middle. no, no, no the guy on the cross in the middle, i’ve seen him somewhere before. i’m not sure. wait, i remember now. i remember now, yeah, that’s right

yeah, i was on my way to galilee, you know, and i-i came across this huge crowd of people. there were like hundreds of them next to the seaside, and him, the guy in the middle, looked like he was going to try to speak to them or something

but, as he attempted to, i remember, they were– they were crowding around him so close, like-like they were trying to touch him or something, that they were inadvertently pushing the poor fellow back into the water, you know

and i- and i thought to myself, “hey, if this guy doesn’t do something fast, he’s going to be a very wet prophet.”

you know, and– well, he must have thought so too, because he, uh, he got into this boat

that’s right, he got into this boat, and, uh, and all the rest of the people there sat around on the edge of the sea, and the rocks and ledges, and-and listened as he spoke

and, you know, he- he spoke like no one i’d ever heard before. about love, and caring, and sharing with everything and everyone, and with such authority too. you know, i’d never heard anyone like that before. i was really impressed

i had to leave before he finished and i-i never got his name. i wonder who he is. i guess it doesn’t matter much now, does it? he’ll be dead in a few minutes anyway

looks kinda strange out here or something, i don’t know what it is
feel that? it’s kinda cold all of a sudden, and dark, i–. look, i’m gonna head back to town in a minute, okay? if you, uh, you find out who that is, i wish you’d let me know. you know, i-i don’t know what it is about him

man, i-i believe that face, man, that is the saddest face i’ve ever seen in my life. those eyes. those eyes, there’s something about ’em, you know? i-i-i tell you this much, i have walked up and down this hillside, man. i have walked up and down, back and forth, half the afternoon, and no matter where i was standing, i’d swear to you, no matter where i was standing, i’d swear that the guy was looking right at– at me

wait a minute. wait a minute, he is looking at me. no, no, no, no, i’m- i’m sure of it, man. the guy in the middle, he’s looking at me. look, uh. who are you?

[verse 1: were you there?]
were you there when they crucified my lord?
were you there when they crucified my lord?
oh, sometimes

[verse 5: were you there?]
were you there when they laid him in the tomb?
were you there when they laid my sweet jesus in the tomb?
oh, oh sometimes it causes me to tremble
to tremble, to tremble
were you there when they laid him in the tomb?

[verse 6: were you there?]
were you there when he rose up from the dead?
were you there when my jesus rose up from the grave?
oh, sometimes
sometimes i feel like shouting, “glory!”
shouting, “glory, hallelu!”
’cause all my sins were there when they crucified my sweet lord

[chorus: we are the reason]
we are the reason that he gave his life
we are the reason that he suffered and died
to a world that was lost
he gave all he could give
to show us the reason to live

would you sing it with me?

[chorus: we are the reason]
we are the reason that he gave his life
we are the reason that he suffered and died
to a world that was lost, he gave all he could give
to show us the reason to live

one more time

[chorus: we are the reason]
we are the reason that he gave his life
we are the reason that he suffered and died
to a world that was lost, he gave all he could give
to show us the reason to live
and believe me when i tell you
that he is my reason to live

god bless you
