[E] _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _ [F#m]
[E] My name they call Barabbas, and for murder [A] they [E] hold me. _
My sentence [A] has [E] been rendered, [G] today I'll die [A] [E] nailed to a tree. _
I denied that I was guilty, _ though I knew I was the man.
How I dread [A] those rusty [E] nails, _
[G] they'll [A] soon [E] drive in my hands.
[G] They'll [A] soon drive [E] in my hands, _
[Em] _ _ _ [F#m] [E] as I lay here in my prison.
_ _ I'm living [Am] my [E] last day, the [Am] soldiers will [E] be coming _ [G] to [A] carry [E] me away.
_ My soul is lost forever _ in the [A] flames [E] down below.
_ I knew [A] the law, [E] but I didn't keep it, [G] and I'm [A] not prepared [E] to go.
_ [G] Yes, I'm not [A] prepared [E] to go.
_ _ [G] _ _ [A] _
[E] The soldiers now are coming, I hear the shuffle [A] of [E] their feet. _ _
_ [A] The angry [E] mob is yelling, _ [G] nail that [A] traitor to [E] the tree.
But they marched on by my prison, _ then the street [A] grew very [E] quiet. _ _
I just [A] don't _ [E] understand it, for [G] they've left [A] me here [E] alive.
Yes, [G] they've left [F#m] me here [E] alive. _ _
[Em] _ _ [F#m] Then [E] the prison doors swung open, I saw a [A] Roman [E] soldier's face.
He said, [A] fear not [E] Barabbas, there [G] was a man [A] just died [E] in your place.
My heart began to tremble, I said, describe [A] this man [E] to me.
_ He said [A] his name [Em] was Jesus, he [G] was a Jew [A] from [E] Galilee.
_ [Em] He was a Jew [A] from [E] Galilee.
_ _ [D] _ _ [E] _ _
[A] He said on the third day, [E] he'll arise [Bm] and live [E] again. _
[A] The tomb will no longer hold him, [E] God's plan [D] can now [B] begin.
_ Well [E] it was not just for old _ Barabbas, Jesus put [A] his life [E] on the line. _ _
Soon [A] he'll return [E] for his faithful, _ [G] he's taking [A] us with him [E] this time.
You know [A] he said, on the third day, he'll [E] arise [Bm] and live [E] again. _
[A] The tomb will no longer hold him, [E] God's plan [D] can now [B] begin.
_ [Bm] Well it [E] was not just for old Barabbas, Jesus put [A] his life on [E] the line. _ _
Soon [A] he'll return [E] for his faithful, _ [A]
[G] he's taking [A] us with him [E] this time.
_ [Em]
We're going [A] with him [E] this time.
_ [G]
Are you going [A] with us [E] this time?
