I've read the story

I've seen the movie

I give to charity

And tithe my ten percent

These I remember

But I so easily forget

All these years never heard it like this

It should've been me

It should've been us

Should've been there hanging on a cross

All of this shame

All of these scars

Should've been stains that were never washed

Why do I hide?

Why do you try

Over and over and over again?

I guess it just leaves saying thank God

It leaves me saying thank God, thank God

For the should've been

I live a good life

I love a great wife

Our kids are beautiful

We got friends down the street

If I'm so thankful

Why do I easily forget?

That You died for all of this

When it should've been me

It should've been us

Should've been there hanging on a cross

All of this shame

All of these scars

Should've been stains that were never washed

Why do I hide?

Why do You try

Over and over and over again?

I guess it just leaves saying thank God

Leaves me saying thank God

For this heart you changed

This soul you raised

My God for taking my place

When…It should've been me

It should've been us

Should've been there hanging on a cross

All of this shame

All of these scars

Should've been stains that were never washed

It should've been me

It should've been us

Should've been there hanging on a cross

All of this shame

All of these scars

Should've been stains that were never washed

Why do I hide?

Why do you try

Over and over and over again?

I guess it just leaves saying thank God

Leaves me saying thank God

I guess it just leaves saying thank God

For the should've been

For the should've been
