Prompt:

YOU WERE THERE Verse 1 You saw the weight my flesh deserved The dust, the shame, the judgment earned. You knelt in the dirt where Your mercy spoke You broke the chains and shattered my yoke And one by one, the stones fell, My accusers turned and faded in the air, As truth undid the fury of their plans. For grace stood loud—and You were there. Chorus: You were there when no one else would stay, When love alone could take my blame. With nothing left for them to throw, You bore the weight I’ll never know. You stood between my sin and death, You called me worthy with Your breath. The weight of me was nailed on You And chose to carry me through I live because You were there. Verse 2 No voice condemned me where You stood, Only truth can call me with bold. The love that paid the cost, saw my past and called me Yours. And one by one, the stones fell, My accusers turned and faded in the air, As truth undid the fury of their plans. For grace stood loud—and You were there. Bridge Stones became a cross upon Your back, My sentence written in the wounds You had. What they dropped, you chose to carry through, The weight of me was nailed on You. Chorus You were there when heaven held its breath, When love outshined the threat of death. You took my place, You bore my scars, You named me free, You called me mine. From dust to life, from guilt to grace, I’m standing here because You were there Forever I will lift my voice—You were there
