| 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) |
