Were you there when they crucified my Lord ?

Were you there when they crucified my Lord ?

Oh, sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble

Were you there when they crucified my Lord ?

Were you there when they nailed him to the tree ?

Were you there when they nailed him to the tree ?

Oh, sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble

Were you there when they nailed him to the tree ?

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 ?

Were you there when they laid him in the tomb ?

Were you there when they laid him in the tomb ?

Oh, sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble

Were you there when they laid him in the tomb ?

During the Exodus Moses asks God to give him His name so he can inform the Israelites. God answers: Tell them “I am who am.”

In the Gospel of St. John we find the seven “I am’s” of Jesus:

“I am the bread of life.”

“I am the light of the world.”

“I am the door of the sheepfold.”

“I am the resurrection ad the life.”

“I am the way, the truth, and the life.”

“I am the true vine...”

Who is this Jesus? Draw your own conclusion.
