The Hymnal of The Evangelical United Brethren Church ‎#455

455. Were You There?

1 Were you there when they crucified my Lord?
Were you there when they crucified my Lord?
O Sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble.
Were you there when they crucified my Lord?

2 Were you there when they nailed Him to the tree?
Were you there when they nailed Him to the tree?
O Sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble.
Were you there when they nailed Him to the tree?

3 Were you there when they laid Him in the tomb?
Were you there when they laid Him in the tomb?
O Sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble.
Were you there when they laid Him in the tomb?
