|
The choices, even though you knew the lines |
|
You'd have to cross for me |
|
You made them anyway |
|
Voices, as you knelt there in the garden |
|
'Neath the olive tree |
|
You heard me call your name |
|
I cannot pretend to understand it all |
|
But heaven knew the reason you were there |
|
Chorus |
|
It was all about a man |
|
It was all about a cross |
|
It was all about the blood that was shed |
|
so I would not be lost |
|
It was all about the love |
|
That was bigger than a life |
|
It was all about a freedom that was given |
|
through your sacrifice |
|
'Cause you would rather die |
|
than to ever live without me |
|
Helpless, that's humanity without your saving grace |
|
So misled |
|
Selfless, you could have called ten thousand angels |
|
Down to take your place |
|
But you took mine instead |
|
I cannot pretend to understand it all |
|
But heaven knew the reason you were there |
|
Chorus |
|
A greater love has no one than this |
|
That he will lay his life down for his friends |
|
Chorus |
