[Verse 1]
They said this preacher man comes from Galilee
Did something so absurd that He deserved to serve my penalty
How can it be?
I know I've done my wrong 'cause doin' wrong is somethin' I do well
I know the court of law and something like this doesn't ring a bell
How can it be?
How can it be?

[Chorus]
I am Barabbas, you took upon my cross
I was a prisoner until You bought my bond with blood
And I can't run away
From what my accusers say
I am Barabbas
I am Barabbas, Your friend

[Verse 2]
They made me sit right there as I watched them beat that preacher man
Thirty-nine of all them lashes should have been on my own skin
How can it bе?
How can it be?

[Chorus]
Woah, I am Barabbas, you took upon my cross
I was a prisoner until You bought my bond with blood
And I can't run away
From what my accusers say
I am Barabbas
I am Barabbas, Your friеnd, ooh, ooh-ooh
[Bridge]
I'll never understand the repercussions of my every sin
Is this love or is this hatred flowing out from bitterness?
How can it be?
But He looked at me

[Chorus]
And I said I am Barabbas, you took upon my cross
I was a prisoner until You bought my bond with blood
And I can't run away
From what my accusers say
I am Barabbas
I am Barabbas, Your friend

[Interlude]
Alright, y'all sing it tonight
And I said

[Outro]
I am Barabbas, you took upon my cross
I was a prisoner until You bought my bond with blood
And I can't run away
From what my accusers say
I am Barabbas
I am Barabbas, Your friend
