Fate's Reversal SD 480p

"Two fates intertwine,
Innocence for guilt exchanged,
Mercy's shadow falls."
Lyrics inspired by John 18:39-40
In the dim light of dawn, by Pilate's command,
A choice was given, to free a man.
Barabbas stood, with guilt his own,
Yet in his stead, the Innocent was shown.
(Chorus)
Oh Barabbas, in shadows you see,
A man called Jesus, taking your tree.
A trade of places, in silence profound,
A life for a life, in love's deep surround.

He watched in awe, as crowds screamed aloud,
"Release to us Barabbas!"—the voices proud.
Yet amidst the roar, a whisper came,
A heart was stirred, forever changed.
(Chorus)
Oh Barabbas, what mysteries untold,
As chains fell free, and your fate was hold.
In Jesus' eyes, a mercy given,
A cross, a sacrifice, for you He's riven.

(Bridge)
Can we stand and watch, and not see our face,
In Barabbas' place, needing that grace?
Do we understand, do we truly know,
The depth of love that He did show?
(Chorus)
For us, He walked, to Calvary's height,
Bearing our burdens, our wrongs to right.
On that rugged cross, where Barabbas should be,
Jesus died for you, He died for me.

(Outro)
So let us ponder, in our hearts' deepest rooms,
The love that freed us, breaking all tombs.
Oh, may we never forget the day,
When Jesus took our place, and washed sins away.
