Who killed Jesus?
I thought you did
You thought I did
But He said no man takes my life from me
But I lay it down voluntarily
So
Who killed Jesus
I guess nobody
[Chorus: x2]
He laid it all down [x3]
Down for me
Who killed Jesus?
I thought they did
How they beat him
How they bruised him
So
Who killed Jesus
Whose to blame here
What a shame here
So much pain here
But He said no man takes my life from me
But I lay it down voluntarily
So
Who can kill Jesus
Nobody
[Chorus]
Down for me [Repeat]
Who killed Jesus
Somebody tell me
Who killed Jesus
Who had the power to do it
Who killed Jesus
I guess nobody
