Should've Been Me - Jeremy Camp

It should’ve been me with arms open

It should’ve been me that was torn

It should’ve been me, I was broken

It should’ve been me, it should’ve been me

Mercy, mercy heard my cry

Mercy, mercy saved my life

You carried all of my burdens

You took 'em all to that grave

I know You didn’t deserve it

But You took my place

You traded hope for my hurting

You bore the weight of my shame

I know You didn’t deserve it

And I know it should’ve been me

I can’t believe it

It should’ve been me in the darkness

It should’ve been me that felt the pain

It should’ve been me brokenhearted

It should’ve been, oh, it should’ve been me

But I’m free

You carried all of my burdens

You took 'em all to that grave

I know You didn’t deserve it

But You took my place

You traded hope for my hurting

You bore the weight of my shame

I know You didn’t deserve it

And I know it should’ve been me

I can’t believe it

I can’t believe it

No longer dirty

No longer afraid

I am no captive, I am no slave

No longer guilty

No longer in chains

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, I’m free

You carried all of my burdens

You took 'em all to that grave

I know You didn’t deserve it

But You took my place

You traded hope for my hurting

You bore the weight of my shame

I know You didn’t deserve it

And I know it should’ve been me…

(I can’t believe it)
