At Cavalry

Johnny Cash

And now here we stand in the
Approximate spot where the Cross stood
In this very spot supposedly on
This very spot is
Where Christ was nailed to the Cross
Laying flat on the ground
I don't think at this time that it really
After what I've seen today and what
Is just before me now that it makes a lot of
Difference whether or not
This was exactly the very spot
Where Christ was crucified
And I feel proud in that I am able
In my lifetime to come and stand
If not in the exact spot within a
Few feet or a few yards
At least of where it all happened
Where our Christianity began the most holiest
Of holy spots for the Christians
Now I would like myself to kneel before
This place here underneath the table
Where the Cross was supposed to have stood
If it's definitely not the place
It's near the place
After Christ was crucified He lay
Upon the Cross dying
After He was dead Roman soldiers
Cast lots for His clothes
There was a Roman soldier Marcellus
Who won this purple robe of
Christ in a dice game
And legend has it story has it that Marcellus
Was affected very strongly by this robe
And the effects of having seen the
Crucifixion he almost lost his mind
And everywhere he would go
For months and years
After that he was like a mad man
He would go to this one and that one
Stand there and say were you out there
Were you there were you there
When they crucified Him
