Music,  Timothy Reynolds

Were You There?

For the 5th week of Lent, Timothy Reynolds has made an arrangement of the spiritual “Were You There?” This piece walks the listener from the cross to the tomb asking:

  • Were you there when they crucified my Lord?
  • Were you there when they nailed him to the tree?
  • Were you there when they laid him in the tomb?

And each verse recalls how it can cause you to “tremble, tremble, tremble” to recall the dark events of Good Friday. The song invites the listener to reflect and meditate on all Christ did for us to win our salvation.

It is accompanied by artwork by Ilya Ovcharenko, Peter Paul Rubens, and Caravaggio depicting Christ carrying his cross, and later being taken down from that cross and entombed.
