This is a song that testifies of melodramatic attachment to a relationship that was never meant to be. It was composed around April 2015 after the experience.
I was hesitant at first to publish this sheet music, but now I can look back and tell my past self that it was OK to feel that the whole world was ending.
This song was originally composed in A-flat major, and later transposed to C major.
Available in F, G, Ab, A, Bb, C, D and Eb.

Laudamus te - Aria for Soprano from Mass in G Major, Carlos Seixas - Vocal Score
Carlos Seixas (1704-1742) was a Portuguese composer and organist who had close contact with the avant-garde European music of his time. Despite never leaving Portugal, Seixas collaborated with Domenico Scarlatti, who was the chapel master of the Portuguese court. Seixas is considered the most important Portuguese baroque composer of keyboard music. Although none of his original works survived, he is credited with composing approximately 700 toccatas. Of these, only ninety-five survived in authenticated sources, along with other instrumental pieces and ten complete vocal works, including the Mass in G major. This mass is written for four soloists (soprano, alto, tenor, and bass), choir, and strings. It is divided into five parts: Kyrie, Gloria, Credo, Sanctus, and Agnus Dei. In addition to the choral sections, this piece also includes four arias, one for each soloist, two duets for soprano and alto, and a trio for soprano, alto, and tenor.

Here is the full piano and vocal version of Were You There When They Crucified My Lord? as heard on my YouTube channel. This version is in G major to match a lower vocal range for a deep and powerful sound. I hope you enjoy this arrangement of such a beautiful Good Friday hymn, a perfect pairing of this classic, contemplative melody with a subdued, richly voiced piano accompaniment to showcase the deep meaning and solemnity of this Holy Week hymn. 

This arrangement works well as a solo or choral anthem for any Easter service, particularly for Good Friday or Maundy Thursday. 

Also available, by searching Stacey Plays Hymns and the song title on this site, are the following versions:

Full piano and vocal arrangement in C major to match the original recording 
Full piano and vocal arrangement in G Major for a very high vocal range
Full piano and vocal arrangement in E Flat Major for a classic soprano range
Lead sheet version
Solo piano version for a prelude/postlude, or communion interlude
