Lyrics

Were you there when they crucified my Lord?

Oh were you there when they crucified my Lord?

(Ohh, sometimes it causes me to tremble)

Tremble

Were you there when they crucified my Lord?

Were you there when they nailed Him to the cross?

Were you there when they nailed Him to the cross?

(Ohh, sometimes it causes me to tremble)

Tremble

Were you there when they nailed Him to the cross?

Were you there when they laid Him in the tomb?

Were you there when they laid Him in the tomb?

(Ohh, sometimes it causes me to tremble)

Tremble

Were you there when they laid Him in the tomb?

Well, were you there when the stone was rolled away?

Were you there when the stone was rolled away?

(Ohh, sometimes it causes me to tremble)

Tremble

Were you there when the stone was rolled away?
