[Intro]
Em C G x2
[Verse 1]
Em C They said this preacher man G Comes from Galilee Em C G Did something so absurd that He deserves to serve my penalty Em C G How can it be?
[Verse 2]
Em C I know I've done my wrongs G 'Cause doing wrong is something I do well Em C G I know the court of law and something like this doesn't ring a bell Em C G How can it be? Em C D And how can it be?
[Chorus]
Em C I am Barabbas G You took upon my cross Em C I was a prisoner G 'Til you bought my bond with blood Em C G And I can't run away Em C G From what my accusers say Em C 'Cause I am Barabbas G D I am Barabbas Em C G Your friend
Em C G
[Verse 3]
Em C They made me sit right there G As I watched them beat that preacher man Em C G Thirty-nine of all them lashes should've been on my own skin Em C G How can it be? Em C D How can it be? Oh
[Chorus]
Em C I am Barabbas G You took upon my cross Em C I was a prisoner G 'Til you bought my bond with blood Em C G And I can't run away Em C G From what my accusers say Em C 'Cause I am Barabbas G D I am Barabbas Em C G Your friend
Em C G x3
[Verse 4]
Em C I'll never understand the G Repercussions of my every sin Em C Is this love? G Or is this hatred flowing out from bitterness Em C G How can it be?
(pause)
Em C D But He looked at me
And I said-
[Chorus]
Em C I am Barabbas G You took upon my cross Em C I was that prisoner G 'Til you bought my bond with blood Em C G And I can't run away Em C G From what my accusers say Em C 'Cause I am Barabbas G D Oh, I am Barabbas Em N.C. I am Barabbas your friend
