They said this preacher man comes from GalileeDid something so absurd that He deserved to serve my penaltyHow can it be?I know I've done my wrong 'cause doin' wrong is somethin' I do wellI know the court of law and something like this doesn't ring a bellHow can it be?How can it be?
I am Barabbas, you took upon my crossI was a prisoner until You bought my bond with bloodAnd I can't run awayFrom what my accusers sayI am BarabbasI am Barabbas, Your friend
They made me sit right there as I watched them beat that preacher manThirty-nine of all them lashes should have been on my own skinHow can it be?How can it be?
Woah, I am Barabbas, you took upon my crossI was a prisoner until You bought my bond with bloodAnd I can't run awayFrom what my accusers sayI am BarabbasI am Barabbas, Your friend, ooh, ooh-ooh
I'll never understand the repercussions of my every sinIs this love or is this hatred flowing out from bitterness?How can it be?But He looked at me
And I said I am Barabbas, you took upon my crossI was a prisoner until You bought my bond with bloodAnd I can't run awayFrom what my accusers sayI am BarabbasI am Barabbas, Your friend
Alright, y'all sing it tonightAnd I said
I am Barabbas, you took upon my crossI was a prisoner until You bought my bond with bloodAnd I can't run awayFrom what my accusers sayI am BarabbasI am Barabbas, Your friend
