It should've been me
With arms open
It should've been me
That was torn
It should've been me
I was broken
It should've been me
It should've been me
Mercy, mercy
Heard my cry
Mercy, mercy
Saved my life
You carried all of my burdens
You took them all to that grave
I know You didn't deserve it
But You took my place
You traded hope for my hurting
You bore the weight of my shame
I know You didn't deserve it
And I know it should've been me
I can't believe it
It should've been me
In the darkness
It should've been me
That felt the pain
It should've been me
Brokenhearted
It should've been, oh
It should've been me
But I'm free
You carried all of my burdens
You took them all to that grave
I know You didn't deserve it
But You took my place
You traded hope for my hurting
You bore the weight of my shame
I know You didn't deserve it
And I know it should've been me
I can't believe it
I can't believe it
No longer dirty
No longer afraid
I am no captive
I am no slave
No longer guilty
No longer in chains
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, I'm free
You carried all of my burdens
You took them all to that grave
I know You didn't deserve it
But You took my place
You traded hope for my hurting
You bore the weight of my shame
I know You didn't deserve it
And I know it should've been me
And I know it should've been me
It should've been
It should've been me
It should've been
It should've been me
It should've been
It should've been me
I can't believe it
