Story Behind the Song
I feel as though this song was given to me to share God's wonderful love with as many that will listen. It was written over a period of several years, with a couple of sets of lyrics.
Lyrics
It should have been me, when they nailed you to that tree
but you took my place, you took my place.
It should have been me Lord, when they beat you endlessly
but you took my place, yes you took my place.
I'll never understand, I guess I’ll never know.
why you gave your life for me, and why you love me so.
Oh when I was lost, Jesus died upon the cross
but he took my place, he took my place to
Set me free .......... there’s power in his Blood, set me free ........ with his everlasting love.
It should have been me Lord, when they pierced you in your side
but you took my place, you took my place.
It should have been me Lord, when you suffered, bled and died
but you took my place, yes you took my place.
I could never understand, I guess I’ll never know.
why you gave your life for me, and why you love me so.
Oh when I was lost, Jesus died upon the cross
He gave his life to save me to
Set me free ....... there’s power in his Blood, to set me free ........ with his everlasting love.
Set me free ...... there’s power in his name, to set me free.........
