Bystanders

It was a long and cruel night
The prince of darkness took on THE LIGHT
The son of God judged on a lie
Nailed on a Roman cross to die

Many years have come and gone
God has given up His son
People standing by the cross
Watch the victim of the curse
Everyone has a tale to tell
Some in shock, some curses to yell
What’s your story standing by
Was it your sin there, or is it just History?

Through the years past and yet to come
Everyone stands at the roman cross
See the crushing of sin by God
Add their own or take them home

Many years have come and gone
God has given up His son
People standing by the cross
Watch the victim of the curse
Everyone has a tale to tell
Some in shock, some curses to yell
What’s your story standing by
Was it your sin there, or is it just History?

But He was bruised for our sin
He was crushed for our pain
The punishment to give us peace was laid on Him
and by His wounds we are healed

Many years have come and gone
God has given up His son
People standing by the cross
Watch the victim of the curse
Everyone has a tale to tell
Some in shock, some curses to yell
What’s your story standing by
Was it your sin there, or is it just History?
