Shouldn't It Be Me - Raze

Here I stand I’m a lucky man

'Cause I should have been dead

But I stand here instead I’m alive

Another one died in my place

Through grace, the gift of God

Caused my hope to revive

I did the deeds I thought the thoughts

I made mistakes causing others to hurt

I am the guilty one, so death should have come

To me not Your only Son

You did for me now I’ll live for You

One hundred percent of my life I’ll give You

A fresh start a brand new hope I received

Should have been me, should have been me Should have been my hands hammered to the cross that day

Thank You I pray that You gave up Your life for free

When it should have been me Shouldn’t it be me who died in total separation

Shouldn’t it be me who took the blame eternally

Shouldn’t it be me who walked alone into darkness

Shouldn’t it be me who died so why do I go free

Never before have I witnessed such love

A presence so huge money just couldn’t buy

The gift of life through another One’s death

I think of the cross I break down and cry

Why was there no other plan that was easier

No other way to be saved from my failure

Only the death of our Lord was sufficient

I owe so much I praise my Savior

You died for me now I’ll live for You

One hundred percent of my life I’ll give You

A fresh start a brand new hope I received

Life to the full be a heavenly preview

Should have been me, should have been me Should have been my hands hammered to the cross on that day

Thank You I pray that You gave up Your life for free

When it should have been me Shouldn’t it be me who died in total separation

Shouldn’t it be me who took the blame eternally

Shouldn’t it be me who walked alone into darkness

Shouldn’t it be me who died so why do I go free
