I am Barabbas lyrics

[Verse 1]
They said this preacher man comes from Galilee
Did somethin' so absurd that He deserved to serve my penalty
How can it be?
I know I've done my wrong
'Cause doin' wrong is somethin' I do well
I know the court of law
And somethin' like this doesn't ring a bell
How can it be?
And how can it be?

[Chorus]
I am Barabbas
You took upon my cross
I was a prisoner
'Til You bought my bond with blood
And I can't run away
From what my accusers say
'Cause I am Barabbas
I am Barabbas
Your friend

[Verse 2]
They made me sit right there
As I watched them beat that preacher man
Thirty-nine of all them lashes should havе been on my own skin
How can it be?
How can it be? (Woah)
[Chorus]
And I am Barabbas
You took upon my cross
I was a prisoner
'Til You bought my bond with blood
And I can't run away
From what my accusеrs say
'Cause I am Barabbas
I am Barabbas
Your friend (Ooh, ooh-ooh)

[Bridge]
I'll never understand
The repercussions of my every sin
Is this love, or is this hatred flowing out from bitterness?
How can it be?
But He looked at me
And I said

[Chorus]
I am Barabbas
You took upon my cross
I was that prisoner
'Til You bought my bond with blood
And I can't run away
From what my accusers say
'Cause I am Barabbas
Oh, I am Barabbas
I am Barabbas
Your friend
