When He Died For You and Me-.. Were You There?

Sometimes it causes me to tremble When I remember that country preacher Telling the story of Jesus Being crucified when I was little I felt bad that He did nothing wrong. And in college, I learned this song A ***** Spiritual Were you there? When singing this song It caused my voice teachers’ Body to tremble As the vibrato spinned As the words sprang out About the story once heard Of how my savior died, And how he on was lied. And now that I’m older And I’ve gained knowledge And now grown And I’m on my own With no one but the Lord to depend on The story means more to me Than when I was that little girl Without a care in the world When that country preacher Told it about how the nails Pierced him far from gently How the crown of thorns Was crushed blood vessels In his head. How he knew he had To face the sinful world Just like how I know I have to face it because God is calling me To assist in ministry I want to be more like Jesus Everyday and in every way. It deeply convicts me To see on movies And to visualize in my mind What He did at Calvary That day at any given time It causes me to tremble And tears to fall. I know in my heart I have no other choice Than to accept His call And give my all and all To gain victory for His people Because He died for it Already. It doesn’t matter If you were there when he died He just wants you To know that He did And all you have to do Is come to Him like a little kid And he will do the rest This is what He does best. I hope that it causes you to tremble Whether or not we resemble Each other in Him we are all Sisters and brothers Were you there, then? It doesn’t matter Be here now He died and rose on the third day For those who were then And now trembling in sin. wrote 7-14-10
