i was sentenced for crimes that i committed
i received the highest penalty for my wrong
but on execution day this man took my place
i was released and now i sing this song
i was freed by a man that i did not know
i didn't care about him until i was let go
but he was making a plea as He hung between two thieves
where i was supposed to go
Oh i thank you Jesus for taking my place
for letting me live when i was doomed for death
But, you saved my life right in the nick-of-time
By trading places with me You gave Your life for mine
And then now my friends I'm a free man
And if you were like me without a chance
A chance to clear your name but this Jesus took your place
if you're released, then you should sing along
i was freed by a man that i did not know
i didn't care about Him until i was let go
But He was making a plea as He hung between two thieves
where i was supposed to go
oh i thank You Jesus for taking my place
for letting me live when i was doomed for death
But, You save my life right in the nick-of-time
By trading places with me You gave Your life for mine
in the back of my head i always say...
Why did i go free
let a guilty man go free and an innocent man would die for me (repeat)
