+ "lyrics": "I came up on a crowd that morning in the square\nJesus already bound, soldiers everywhere\nI didn't know the whole story, only the rumors in the air\nTheir accusations sounded righteous and fair\nI told myself, \"He's dangerous, leading hearts astray\nMaybe He's earned whatever judgment comes today\"\n\nPilate brought Barabbas out, for everyone to see\n\"Crucify Jesus!\" they shouted till he set the killer free\nI lifted up my voice and joined with the rest\nBut something inside me started to twist in my chest\n'Cause in the hidden places no one else could see\nI knew if they knew my sins, they'd be stoning me\n\nThe soldiers flogged Him while the people mocked and jeered\nAnd they pressed a thorny crown down on His head\nThey hurled their curses and they spit in His face\nWhile laughter and their hatred filled the place\nI stood there frozen, my stomach in knots\nThinking, \"This should be me\nI'm the one who is lost\"\n\nEvery lash felt like judgment for the lust in my veins\nFor the lies I told and the people I stained\nFor the selfish desires I hid in the night\nFor the ones I hurt just to prove I was right\nI wanted to scream \"Stop this, please make it end!\"\nBut my cowardice held me, I stayed silent again\n\nThey nailed Him up high on a blood-soaked hill\nThe sound of the hammer is haunting me still\nHe lifted His head through the pain and the grief\nLooked straight through the mob and His eyes found me\nIn that moment I felt stripped, like He saw every stain\nBut I still couldn't see who He was through my shame\n\nHis head dropped low as the final breath was drawn\n\"It is finished,\" He said - and then He was gone\n\nMinutes ticked by as I knelt in the dirt\nHis words still echoing - as I drowned in guilt\nTrembling and weak I began to see\nHe was the Messiah\nAnd He suffered for me\n\nIt's been a long time since that day\nBut the guilt hasn't faded, it won't go away\nI wish I could change what I can't undo\nBut forgiving myself is something I can't do\n\nJesus\nForgive me\nForgive me"
