Lyrics

Put Yourself In My Place
by Patrick W. Carr

Put yourself in my place
Put yourself in my place
Going to the river to see my cousin John

Going down in the water, rise up again
Down in the water, rise up again
Spirit come down, Light shinin’ on my face
Light shinin’ on my face

Put yourself in my place
Put yourself in my place
All over the world people cryin’ out in pain

I see my sister persecuted (Oh, Martha, don’t you cry no more)
I see my brother suffering (Oh, Laz’rus, won’t you come forth)
The poor and the hungry want to be fed
The sick and the lame just want to be led
All over the world people cry out in pain
people cry out in pain

Put yourself in my place
Put yourself in my place
Kneeling in the garden, pass this cup from me
If it be Your will, pass this cup from me

Put yourself in my place
Tryin’ to tell Peter, James, and John
About tearing down the temple and raising it up again

Soldiers coming after me (Oh, Peter, why deny me)
Soldiers gonna put me on the tree (Why have you forsaken me?)
Beat me down, pierce my skin
but Death can’t ever do me in
the Blood and the Water can make everybody free
make everybody free

I put myself in your place
I put myself in your place
A gift from the Father to make everybody free
to make everybody free
