Barrabás

In the depths of a cold cell
It was me and loneliness
Joy had gone away
I awaited the hour of execution

Tears wetting my face
And reviewing my sins
I saw myself in a dead end
For throughout life I did everything wrong

Suffering there in despair, a soldier arrived
He removed the chains and said to me
You will escape death
It's your lucky day, you can go

And he said: Go in peace
You have no reason to stay
Another person will die in your place

I was a criminal and He was without sin
I was being released and He was being condemned
I was malice and He was without malice
I was lies and He was the truth
I was in full war, He brought me peace
He was Jesus Christ and I was Barrabas

And I was Barrabas
