I am Barabbas
I am Herod, seeking to take your life at birth I am you brother, not believing, at first I am the Pharisee reading your words but still don't see I am the son leaving the safe home I am Judas, selling you out for silver coins I am the guard, stinging your loins I am Peter, three times denying I am the voice in my head, 7 by 70 times defying I am Pilate, washing my hands while sending you to death I am the officer, whipping your back free of flesh I am the soldier making your thorny crown I am the next, prying it down I am Thomas, doubting your resurrection I am Saul, stoning your followers and lead the persecution I am sleeping in trying to stay up for an hour And when I pray I just ... petitions for power I am the crowd shouting for Barabbas' liberation I am Barabbas, your death is my redemption I am the hammer I am the nails piercing your hands, for all my fails I am the sinner you died for who was to be naile...
