I was guilty with nothing to say
And they were coming to take me away
But then a voice from heaven was heard
It said, Let him go
Take Me instead
And I should have been crucified
I should have suffered and died
I should have hung on the cross in disgrace
But Jesus, God's Son took my place
The crown of thorns
The spear deep in His side
And the pain should have been mine
The rusty nails were meant for me
Yet Christ took them
And let me go free
And I should have been crucified
I should have suffered and died
I should have hung on the cross in disgrace
But Jesus, God's Son
Jesus, God's Son
Oh, Jesus, God's Son took my place
(Took my place)
