Were You There When They Crucified My Lord? - as sung by Jack Marti

Within its traditional seven verses, this soulful, powerfully moving, yet nobly restrained spiritual encapsulizes the entire story of the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus as described in the four Gospels of the Bible's New Testament. It is one of several spirituals, such as "Hammering," "He Arose", "They Led My Lord Away," and "He Never Said a Mumblin' Word", in which the people who suffered through the tragedy of American slavery would draw a dramatic parallel between their experience and that of the persecution and torture of the great spiritual master and man of peace.
