I was the tear
That fell upon that rock
And I could hear
Every word he spoke to God

Take this cup from me
It's not mine to drink
I've done nothing wrong
Father there must be some mistake

I was the reason
Why he died on Calvary
I was the reason
But he still chose to die for me
And every sin that I had made
Was there like black thick moss
I was the reason for the cross

I was  the nail
That pinned him to the tree
I held him there
As he died on Calvary

But I didn't use the hammer
I had no choice in this
It was the man in the Roman armor
But my shame was not dismissed

I was the reason
Why he died on Calvary
I was the reason
But he still chose to die for me
And every sin that I had made
Was there like black thick moss
I was the reason for the cross


I was the soldier
That hung him on the cross
It was not my decision
But I saw what it had cost

If I didn't have the nails
Then they would have my head
I killed an innocent man
It should have been me instead

I was the reason
Why he died on Calvary
I was the reason
But he still chose to die for me
And every sin that I had made
Was there like black thick moss
I was the reason for the cross
