Intro:

1 Verse:
Em  C  G
They said this preacher Man
Comes from Galilee
Did somethin' so absurd that he
Deserved to serve my penalty
Em  C  D
How can it be?

2 Verse:
I know I've done my wrong
'Cause doin' wrong is something I
Do well
I know the court of law
And somethin' like this doesn't
Ring a bell
How can it be?
And how can it be?

Chorus:
Em  C  G
I am Barabbas
You took upon my cross
I was a prisoner
Till you bought my bond with
Blood
And I can't run away
From what my accusers say
'Cause l am Barabbas
I am Barabbas
Your friend

They made me sit right there
As I watched them beat that
Preacher man
39 of all them lashes should have
Been on my own skin
How can it be?
How can it be? (Ohh)

Chorus:
And I am Barabbas
You took upon my cross
I was a prisoner
Till you bought my bond with
Blood
And I can't run away
From what my accusers say
'Cause I am Barabbas
I am Barabbas
Your friend (ooh-ooh)

4 Verse:
I'll never understand
The repercussions of my every sin
Is this love? Or is this hatred
Flowing out from bitterness
How can it be?
But He looked at me
And I said

Chorus:
I am Barabbas
You took upon my cross
I was that prisoner
Till you bought my bond with
Blood
And I can't run away
From what my accusers say
'Cause I am Barabbas
Oh, I am Barabbas
I am Barabbas
Your friend
