It should have been me in the darkness, that felt the pain, but I'm free!
Video: Jeremy Camp - It Should have Been Me
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 them 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
It should've been me
But I'm free
You carried all of my burdens
You took them 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
I'm free
2 Corinthians 5:21 For God made Christ, who never sinned, to be the offering for our sin, so that we could be made right with God through Christ.
1 Peter 2:22-25 He never sinned, nor ever deceived anyone. 23 He did not retaliate when he was insulted, nor threaten revenge when he suffered. He left his case in the hands of God, who always judges fairly.
24 He personally carried our sins in his body on the cross so that we can be dead to sin and live for what is right. By his wounds you are healed. 25 Once you were like sheep who wandered away. But now you have turned to your Shepherd, the Guardian of your souls.
