Barrabás

In the depths of a cold cell
It was me and loneliness
Joy had gone away
I awaited the hour of execution
Tears wetting my face
And reviewing my sins
I saw myself in a dead end
For throughout life I did everything wrong
Suffering there desperate
A soldier arrived
Took off the chains and said to me
You will escape death
It's your lucky day, you can go
And He said go in peace
You have no
Reason to stay
Another person will die in your place

Chorus:
I was a criminal
And He was without sin
I was being released
And He was being condemned
I was the deception
And He was without malice
I was the lie
And He was the truth
I was in full war
Only He had peace
His name is Jesus Christ
And I was Barrabas.
