It Should Have Been Me

"It Should Have Been Me" James Williams Peter: How could I let this ever be To deny you at your feet and then turn around and walk away When I was the one Who stood on your name And When I was asked, " do I know you?" Three times I denied you the same It should have been me On that day taken away with thee Lord It should have been me It should have been me On that cross Dying for the cost I know Lord It should have been me. Judas: Lord I betrayed thee at the drop of a dime I placed a kiss on your face With deception in my mind Lord Why did I betray you For 30 pieces of silver And to know that you still love me My life I don't deserve It should have been me On that day taken away with thee Lord It should have been me It should have been me On that cross Dying for the cost I know Lord It should have been me. ME: Father please forgive my sins For the pain has set in You have shown your love to me Over and over again I don't deserve your mercy I don't deserve your grace I don't deserve the sacrifice that you made It should have been me On that day taken away with thee Lord It should have been me It should have been me On that cross Dying for the cost I know Lord It should have been me. It was you who and died on Calvary to save and set my spirit free Upon that cross you hung for me And Lord It should have been me. "The Simple Words"
