Where you there when they crucified my Lord?
Where you there when they crucified my Lord?
Oh, sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble,
Where you there when they crucified my Lord?

Where you there when they crowned Him with the thorns?
Where you there when they crowned Him with the thorns?
Oh, sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble,
Where you there when they crowned Him with the thorns?


Where you there when they pierced Him in the side?
Where you there when they pierced Him in the side?
Oh, sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble,
Where you there when they pierced Him in the side?

Where you there when they laid Him in the tomb?
Where you there when they laid Him in the tomb?
Oh, sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble,
Where you there when they laid Him in the tomb?
