Were You There? Lyrics - Specialty Profiles: Sam Cooke & The Soul Stirrers - Sam Cooke

Them was going to Jerusalem 

He met two strangers along the way 

They were talking all about the Crucifixion 

They stopped and here's what he said, he asked them 

Were you there when they crucified the Lord? 

(Were you there?) 

Were you there when they crucified the Lord? 

He asked them, were you there when the crucified the Lord? 

And one of them told him 

No, sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble 

He said I was there 

I was there when they crucified the Lord

A fellow said, I want you to tell me if you were there? 

Tell me, did they really pierce Him in the side that morn 

O Lord, he said if you were there 

I wonder did they pierce the Savior in the side? 

Sometimes it causes me to tremble 

Every time I think about how they did the Lord 

It makes me tremble 'cause I was there 

And they really pierced him in the side that morning 

A fellow said, I want you to tell me if you were there? 

If you were there kindly tell me 

Did he hang there and never say one word?
