Lyrics

Them was going to Jerusalem He met two strangers along the way They were talking all about the Crucifixion They stopped and here's what he said, he asked them Were you there when they crucified the Lord? (Were you there?) Were you there when they crucified the Lord? He asked them, were you there when the crucified the Lord? And one of them told him No, sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble He said I was there I was there when they crucified the Lord A fellow said, I want you to tell me if you were there? Tell me, did they really pierce Him in the side that morn O Lord, he said if you were there I wonder did they pierce the Savior in the side? Sometimes it causes me to tremble Every time I think about how they did the Lord It makes me tremble 'cause I was there And they really pierced him in the side that morning A fellow said, I want you to tell me if you were there? If you were there kindly tell me Did he hang there and never say one word? Sometimes I have to tremble Every time I think about how they done the Lord It makes me tremble 'Cause I was there when they crucified the Lord
