As performed by Stellenbosch Madrigal Singers on 30 November 2018 in the Old Conservatoire, Stellenbosch.

Lyrics:
Based on extracts from Psalms 13, 119:20 and 96:9)

Were you there when they crucified my Lord?
[How long, oh Lord, wilt Thou forget me forever? How long will Thou hide Thy face from me? How long must l bear pain in my soul and have sorrow in my heart all the day?
Sometimes it causes me to tremble — my flesh trembles for fear of Thee, and I am afraid of Thy judgements, o Lord.]

Were you there when they nailed Him to the tree?
[How long shall my enemy be exalted over me? Consider and answer me, oh Lord my God.
l lighten my eyes lest l sleep the sleep of death, lest my enemy say: “I have prevailed over him", lest my foes rejoice because I am shaken — my flesh trembles for fear of Thee, and I am afraid of Thy judgements.]

Were you there when the sun refused to shine?

Were you there when they laid Him in the Tomb?
[But l have trusted in Thy steadfast love. My heart shall rejoice in Thy salvation. l will sing to the Lord because He has dealt so bountifully with me. Worship and tremble before Him all the earth.]
