Story Behind the Song
I wanted to write an appropriate song for communion.
Lyrics
We Remember
Copyright ~ Bill Ballantyne January 2001
Verse 1
Betrayed with a kiss, Your time was at hand. In the black of night abandoned by Your friends. They took You to Pilate, placed thorns upon Your head. They slapped and abused You and beat You till You bled.
chorus
We remember, Your body was broken. We remember, Your blood that was shed.
We remember, the words You had spoken, it is do----ne! We remember.
Verse 2
Stripped of Your clothes they nailed You to a cross.Taunted and mocked, You still looked for the lost. One came to You, the other one just died. And All who will love You will live in Paradise.
chorus
bridge
Oh why did You do it, to save someone like me? Despising the shame You hung on Calvary's tree.
Verse 3
So dead in my sin You gave Your life for me.
And so undeserving just how could this be?
chorus
I remember, You died just for me. I remember, Your love set me free
I remember, that were You are now I will be----e! I remember, I remember
