THE CITY WAS JERUSALEM
THE TIME WAS LONG AGO
THE PEOPLE CALLED
HIM JESUS
THE CRIME WAS THE
LOVE HE SHOWED
AND I'M THE ONE
TO BLAME
I CAUSED ALL THE PAIN
HE GAVE HIMSELF THE DAY
HE WORE MY CROWN
HE BROUGHT ME LOVE THAT
ONLY HE COULD GIVE
I BROUGHT HIM
CAUSE TO CRY
AND THOUGH HE TAUGHT
ME HOW TO LIVE
I TAUGHT HIM
HOW TO DIE
AND I'M THE ONE TO BLAME
I CAUSED ALL THE PAIN
HE GAVE HIMSELF THE DAY
HE WORE MY CROWN
HE COULD HAVE CALLED
HIS HOLY FATHER
AND SAID TAKE ME AWAY
PLEASE TAKE ME AWAY
HE COULD HAVE SAID
I'M NOT GUILTY
AND I'M NOT GONNA STAY
I'M NOT GONNA PAY
BUT HE WALKED RIGHT
THROUGH THE GATE
AND THEN ON
UP THE HILL
AND AS HE FELL
BENEATH THE WEIGHT
HE CRIED HE CRIED
FATHER NOT MY WILL
AND I'M THE ONE TO BLAME
I CAUSED ALL HIS PAIN
HE GAVE HIMSELF THE DAY
HE WORE MY CROWN
AND I'M THE ONE TO BLAME
I CAUSED ALL HIS PAIN
HE GAVE HIMSELF THE DAY
HE WORE MY CROWN
