It Was Me

Their heads were low Their steps were slow
As they walked along that long Emmaus road 
When a man appeared And as he drew near
He said, "Why are you so sad?
Are things really that bad?" 
They said, "Sir, have you not heard? 
You must be a stranger in this town. 
Because the one who came in the Father's name 
He has been let down They put his body in the ground
As they walked and talked He began to explain
About this Jesus and why He came
He opened the scriptures and began to teach
The preacher of preachers He began to preach 

In the wilderness the children had nothing there to eat 
But manna from Heaven fell down at their feet 
When they were dry and thirsty in a barren land
Living water came forth out of the rock in the sand
When the three Hebrew children were thrown in the flames
A fourth man appeared they even called him by name
The manna, the water, the man they're all the same
But, if you're still confused let me say this real plain

It was me. It was me. 
I'm the one you left back there at Calvary 
It was me. 

Who do you think brought the stars in the sky?
Who do you think made the day and the night?
Who made the flowers? Who made the trees?
Who made the sun and the moon and the seas?
Who gives life to all who believe? 
And who do you think made the blind to see?
Who made the very air that you breath? 
Who defeated death and won the victory? 

It was me. It was me. 
I'm the one who died for you on Calvary.
It was me.

Who loved you when no one else would?
And who saved you when no one else could?
It was me.
