I was not in the garden when He knelt to God and prayed,
I did not kiss Him on the cheek when Jesus was betrayed;
I could not do a single thing
to hurt God's only Son,
But every time I sin on earth
I feel that I'm the one.
I'm the one who shouted "crucify,"
I'm the one who made His cross so high,
I'm the one who stood and watched Him die;
What have I done? I'm the one.
I was not at the trial
when the crowd jeered at His name,
I did not make Him bear a cross
or walk a road of shame;
I could not do a single thing
to hurt God's only Son,
But every time I sin on earth
I feel that I'm the one.
I'm the one who shouted "crucify,"
I'm the one who made His cross so high,
I'm the one who stood and watched Him die;
What have I done? I'm the one.
I was not on the hillside when
He gave His life that day,
I did not nail His precious hands
or take His robe away;
I could not do a single thing
to hurt God's only Son,
But every time I sin on earth
I feel that I'm the one.
I'm the one who shouted "crucify,"
I'm the one who made His cross so high,
I'm the one who stood and watched Him die;
What have I done? I'm the one.

I'm the one who made His cross so high,
