(Verse 1)
There in the garden, all alone In anguish, falling to the ground You sought a friend beloved to watch and pray Yet such a friend could not be found Too busy thinking of myself I let the world lull me to sleep And as I slumbered in the early hours You were alone to pray and weep (Chorus) Because of me You bled and died I held the hammer When you were crucified I was the one Who brought You so much pain And yet You bore the cross To rescue me from sin You did it all because of me Because of me (Verse 2) They asked me if I was Your friend I swore I did not know Your name In fear that they would come and seek me out I cursed and lied to hide my shame Then when I heard the rooster crow Just as You told me it would do You glanced my way as You were passing by And in that moment Lord I knew (Repeat Chorus) Because of me You bled and died I held the hammer When you were crucified I was the one Who brought You so much pain And yet You bore the cross To rescue me from sin You did it all because of me Because of me (Bridge) And as You hung on the cross I dared not look at Your face You thought of all but yourself As You died to save mankind (Half Chorus) Because of me You bled and died I held the hammer When you were crucified (Transpose and Repeat Chorus) Because of me You bled and died I held the hammer When you were crucified I was the one Who brought You so much pain And yet You bore the cross To rescue me from sin You did it all because of me Because of me Copyright © 2013 Peter Gringhuis, Elton Smith, Larry Holder and Steve Israel
