Capo: 4th fret
[Intro]
Em C G
(x2)
[Verse 1]
Em C
They said that 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
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?
[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 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
Oh, I am Barabbas
Em
I am Barabbas your friend
Tired of hiding
Dead man's awakening
Old life behind me
Mourning is breaking
You're calling me out
Just as I am
Filthy now Holy
Your Spirit inside me
Graves into glory
Reviving whats dying
You're calling me out
Just as I am
From death to life, You'll be Glorified
The stone, You're moving is proving your might
I'm letting go, I'm leaving my Grave Clothes
The stone behind me
Real love before me
Breath in this body
Sinking in glory
You've called me out
Just as I am
From death to life, You'll be Glorified
The stone, You're moving is proving your might
I'm letting go, I'm leaving my Grave
My soul was sleeping, awakened to life
I dance in your freedom, I'm dressed in your light
I'm letting go, I'm leaving my Grave Clothes
Come and see
He's awakening
He is calling the grave back to life
Come and see
See his glory
He is calling the grave back to life
From death to life, You'll be Glorified
The stone, You're moving is proving your might
I'm letting go, I'm leaving my Grave
My soul was sleeping, awakened to life
I dance in your freedom, I'm dressed in your light
I'm letting go, I'm leaving my Grave Clothes
I'm leaving my Grave Clothes
