Barabbas
Redemption's Echo: Ben Wolverton's Barabbas Unveiled
Lyrics
Alone but not forgotten
Feeling isolated but still remembered or acknowledged by others.
Sitting in this cell
In a confinement space, possibly a prison.
Captive to myself
Confined by one's own thoughts, emotions, or circumstances.
Known for being wanted
Recognized for being pursued or sought after by authorities.
The blood is on these hands
Feeling responsible or guilty for causing harm or wrongdoing.
I am a guilty man
Admitting culpability or fault for a particular action or situation.
Out of the darkness
Emerging from a difficult situation or metaphorical darkness.
I hear them call my name
Hearing a beckoning or summoning directed towards oneself.
I'm going to my grave
Expecting imminent death or accepting mortality.
But here stands a man named Jesus
Contrasting one's own state with the calm and fearless demeanor of Jesus.
Calm and unafraid
Jesus is depicted as serene and untroubled.
The king of Jews is his claim
Claiming Jesus' identity as the King of the Jews.
Hallelujah
Expressing praise or exaltation.
Hallelujah
Reiterating the praise or exaltation.
My life found in your name
Finding personal identity or significance in Jesus.
Jesus you took my place
Recognizing that Jesus took on one's place or burden.
Hallelujah
Continuing the expression of praise or exaltation.
Hallelujah
-The son of man you came to be
Describing Jesus as the Son of Man, referencing his humanity.
The radiance of glory's found in you
Highlighting the radiant and glorious nature inherent in Jesus.
Begotten son the risen one
Referring to Jesus as the begotten and resurrected.
The one who is and is to come is you
Acknowledging Jesus as the eternal and omnipresent figure.
Jesus it's you
Affirming that Jesus is the subject of discussion.
The son of man you came to be
(Repetition of lines 22-26)
The radiance of glory's found in you
-Begotten son the risen one
-The one who is and is to come is you
-Jesus it's you
-Hallelujah
Reiterating the expression of praise or exaltation.
Hallelujah
-My life found in your name
Finding personal identity or significance in Jesus.
Jesus you took my place
Acknowledging that Jesus took on one's place or burden.
