Who Am I

I was on the cross at Calvary 
The day Jesus suffered and died 
An innocent Man who took your place 
Was unjustly crucified 

No one saw me hide my face 
But everyone knew my name 
I was the reason He had to die 
And you were the reason He came 

Everyone is a part of me 
From the moment of their birth 
Just a whisper in the garden 
And now I rule this earth 

Nailed to a cross at Calvary 
As mercy and grace begins 
I am what His blood made clean 
For I am all your sins
