"Rescue" is a music group that I spent middle school-ish listening to; they're quite a good a Capella group. Here's one of their songs, "2000 years Ago". The line that clinches it for me is, "Though my foolish heart finds it hard to believe, 2000 years ago He was thinking of me."
How amazing is that? I am the reason, you are the reason, we are the reason He died and rose again. And He knew that. He knew us. He knows us.
2000 Years Ago - Rescue
I was also trying to find another video. At Cannon Beach, a place we go every year in Oregon, there was a guy that recited an intense crucifixion/resurrection poem for a few years in a row. Unfortunately I couldn't find the video or the poem, but I came across this one in the process. Still pretty intense.

The night was a veil of darkness,
Throughout the land was a mode of quietness,
For the dear Son of God was on trial before men.
Was it for justice or was it for sin?
Here was my Lord, standing guiltless before men
And all the crowd could say was "Crucify Him".
Yes, they wanted to crucify my Lord, crucify the only One I love.
How could men hate this One sent from God above?
Just like we do today,
No matter what we do, no matter what we say,
With our sin, we are still crying
"Crucify Him."
He stood before Pilate with His back bleeding
Yet, in all His pain, did you hear Him pleading?
No, not my Lord, He had no defense
Through all His suffering, He kept His silence.
Here was my Lord, standing silent before men
Forgiving the mob who cried "Crucify Him!"
Death could not claim the Lord I love
He is standing at the portals of Heaven above.
He arose from the grave built by men.
He loves even those who cry, "Crucify Him".
Yes, we are nailing Him to the Cross again
We're driving the nails in with our sin,
We are standing with the mob crying "Crucify Him!"
Forgive us Lord, of our sin,
Never again let us stand with them
And never again shout with the crowd as they cry -
"CRUCIFY HIM!
