"Should've Been Me"

This song is an amazing reminder of the huge sacrifice that Jesus paid for us. I still have it on repeat.



        "Should've Been Me" by Citizen Way

I've read the story,
I've seen the movie,
I give to charity, 
tithe my ten percent. 
This I remember, but I so easily forget 
All these years never heard it like this: 

Should've been me, should've been us,
should've been there hanging on a cross.
All of this shame, all of these scars
should've been stains that were never washed.
Why do I hide, why do you try 
over and over and over again? 
I guess it just leaves me sayin' thank God 
It leaves me sayin' thank God, Thank God 
For the should've been.

I live a good life, 
I love a great wife,
Our kids are beautiful,
We've got friends down the street. 
If I'm so thankful, 
Why do I easily forget
Oh, that you died for all of this? 

When it should've been me, should've been us, 
should've been there hanging on a cross. 
All of this shame, all of these scars
should've been stains that were never washed. 
Why do I hide, why do you try
over and over and over again? 
I guess it just leaves me sayin' thank God
It leaves me sayin' thank God 

For this heart you changed, 
this soul you raised, 
My God, for taking my place! 

Should've been me, 
should've been us, 
should've beent there hanging on a cross. 
All of this shame, all of these scars 
should've been stains that were never washed. 
Why do I hide, why do you try
over and over and over again
I guess it just leaves me sayin' thank God
For the should've been.
