lyrics

words & music by Stephen Bautista


if I were there
standing by jesus' side
would I be bold enough
to go against the bitter tide
would I speak out
willingly plead his case
defend him to the end
from the angry crowds he faced

chorus I
would I run to his rescue
would I come to save the day
would I run out in his defense
and stand in the crowds way
would I hold to my convictions
even if I was assailed
or am I really that much different at all
than the man who drove the nail

so here I am
standing by jesus' side
will I be bold enough
to go against the bitter tide
will I speak out
willingly plead his case
defend him to the end
from the angry crowds I'll face

chorus II
will I run to his rescue
will I come to save the day
will I run out in his defense
and stand in the crowds way
will I hold to my convictions
even if I am assailed
or am I really that much different at all
than the man who drove the nail

bridge
everytime I stand in silence
and fail to come to his defense
it's as if mine were the very hands that
drove the nails through him

chorus III
that's why he ran to my rescue
and came to save the day
