I Killed A Man - John Schlitt

I killed a man

Who did nothing to deserve it

Put the nails in His hands

Like my fathers did before me

Yes, I killed a man

Crucify, let Him die

Don’t give Him mercy

(Shouting with the Pharisees)

Don’t set Him free

We don’t need His kind of teaching

(He's messing with our scheme of things)

How dare He go against tradition

He is causing too much tension

We demand His termination

Let Him die!

I killed a man

Who did nothing to deserve it

Put the nails in His hands

Like my fathers did before me

Yes, I killed a man

But He rose again!

Here I am, I’m your man

I can’t deny it

(I'm the one you’re looking for)

Given up, had enough

It’s time to face it

(Can't take this guilt no more)

The sins of my unrighteous walk

Are washed away upon the Cross

My weakness has brought quite a loss

A King is dead

I killed a man

As the price of my transgressions

Put the nails in His hands

For the cost of my redemption

Yes, I killed a man

But He rose again

Yes, I killed a man
