Lyrics:

The city was Jerusalem
The time was long ago
The people called him Jesus
The crime was the love He showed
And I'm the one to blame
I caused all the pain
He gave Himself, the day He wore my crown

He brought me love that only He could give
I brought Him cause to cry
And though He taught me how to live
I taught Him how to die
And I'm the one to blame
I caused all the pain
He gave Himself, the day He wore my crown

He could have called His holy Father, and said,
'Take me away, please, take me away.'
He could have said, 'I'm not guilty.
And I'm not going to stay
I'm not going to pay.'
But He walked right through the gate
And then on up the hill
And as He fell beneath the weight
He cried, 'Father, not My will.'
And I'm the one to blame
I caused all His pain
He gave Himself, the day He wore my crown.

And I'm the one to blame
I caused all His pain
He gave Himself, the day He wore my crown.
