These are the actual words (or lyrics) and tune to
the song as in John 19:8-11 (King James Version).
12 years ago (you can find it here) I sang different
words and a slightly different tune. This would be
closer to words in the King James Version of the Bible.

Thou couldst have no power at all against me,
except it were given thee from above,
therefore he that hath delivered me unto thee,
hath the greater sin.

KJV (King James Version)
[8] When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he was the more afraid; [9] And went again into the judgment hall, and saith unto Jesus, Whence art thou? But Jesus gave him no answer. [10] Then saith Pilate unto him, Speakest thou not unto me? knowest thou not that I have power to crucify thee, and have power to release thee? [11] Jesus answered, Thou couldest have no power at all against me, except it were given thee from above: therefore he that delivered me unto thee hath the greater sin.
