sometimes

We sang this hymn in chapel today, and it has caused me to think all day... It has been years since I heard it.... Zach Vincent, who was helping to lead worship, softly mused that sometimes he feels like we Christians are so quick to mention Christ's resurrection as soon as we speak of His death that we effectively "skip over" dwelling on the magnitude of what He did for us by dying on the cross...

Sometimes, he challenged quietly, it is good to sit in tears and brokenness at the foot of the cross... If you know the words, I would invite you to take a moment sometime to close your eyes and sing this slowly and quietly instead of skimming over it..... Let it sit on your heart..

Where you there when they crucified my lord?
Where you there when they crucified my lord..?
Oh, sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble...
Where you there when they crucified my lord?

Where you there when they nailed him to a tree?
Where you there when they nailed him to a tree..?
Oh, sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble....
Where you there when they nailed him to a tree?

Where you there when they laid him in a tomb?
Where you there when they laid him in a tomb..?
Oh, sometimes....sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble...
Where you there when they laid him in a tomb?

Sometimes......it causes me to tremble....
