Here I stand I'm a lucky man 'Cause I should have been dead but I stand here instead I'm alive Another one died in my place Through grace, the gift of God Caused my hope to revive I did the deeds I thought the thoughts I made mistakes causing others to hurt I am the guilty one, so death should have come To me not Your only Son You died for me now I'll live for You One hundred percent of my life I'll give you A fresh start a brand new hope I recieved Life to the full be a heavenly preview Should have been me, should have been me Should have been my hands hammered to the cross on that day Thank you I pray that you gave up Your life for free When it should have been me
Chorus Shouldn't it be me who died in total seperation Shouldn't it be me who took the blame eternally Shouldn't it be me who walked alone into the darkness Shouldn't it be me who died so why do I go free
Never before have I witness such love A prescence so huge money just can't buy The gift of life through another One's death I think of the cross I break down and cry Why was there no other plan that was easier No other way to be saved from my failure Only the death of our Lord was sufficient I owe so much I praise my Savior You died for me now I'll live for You One hundred percent of my life I'll give you A fresh start a brand new hope I recieved Life to the full be a heavenly preview
Should have been me, should have been me Should have been my hands hammered to the cross on that day Thank you I pray that you gave up Your life for free When it should have been me
