Lyrics

Verse 1 Were you there when they crucified my Lord? Were you there when they crucified my Lord? Sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble. Were you there when they crucified my Lord? Verse 2 Were you there when they nailed Him to the tree? Were you there when they nailed Him to the tree? Sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble. Were you there when they nailed Him to the tree? Verse 3 Were you there when they pierced Him in the side? Were you there when they pierced Him in the side? Oh! Sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble. Were you there when they pierced Him in the side? Verse 4 Were you there when the sun refused to shine? Were you there when the sun refused to shine? Sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble. Were you there when the sun refused to shine? Verse 5 Were you there when they laid Him in the tomb? Were you there when they laid Him in the tomb? Sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble. Were you there when they laid Him in the tomb? Verse 6 Were you there when God raised Him from the tomb? Were you there when God raised Him from the tomb? Oh! Sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble. Were you there when God raised Him from the tomb?...

Popular Hymn Sheets

Some people like to sing by memory, some like to see the words on the screen, and some like the music written out on paper, in "good old-fashioned four-part harmony." We have made this series of Hymn Sheets to arrange all the great contemporary worship songs in a format consistent with the hymnal in your pews. These sheets are great as inserts in your bulletin for your congregation to follow along. By the way, photocopying these sheets for your congregation is covered by CCLI.

Stations of the Cross - Jesus falls the third time

At this station, Jesus falls for the third time—exhausted, humiliated, and seemingly spent. There is no strength left to summon, no dignity to preserve, only the relentless weight of the cross and the love that keeps Him moving forward. These songs give voice to the finality of collapse, where perseverance is no longer fueled by resolve but by surrender. Here, Christ identifies fully with human frailty, meeting us at the lowest point of endurance. This list invites worshippers to sit with the cost of redemption and behold a Savior who falls again—yet refuses to abandon the work of salvation entrusted to Him. Find songs for Passion Week and Good Friday here.

Stations of the Cross - Jesus meets his mother

At this station, Jesus meets His mother—a moment filled with unspeakable sorrow, restrained love, and silent understanding. These songs invite worshippers to step into the shared grief between mother and Son, where love does not turn away from suffering, and faith holds steady even as hearts break. Rather than offering resolution, this list allows space for lament, compassion, and quiet trust, reflecting a Savior who is not alone in His suffering and a mother who stands faithful in the midst of pain. This collection works especially well for Stations of the Cross, Good Friday services, prayer rooms, or choir-led moments where reverence, stillness, and empathy are central.
