You did this all for me

8 May 2004

You set aside Your majesty
And took on human frailty
You walked the shores of Galilee
And said You'd come to set me free
You did this all for me

You showed the stark reality
Of my own depravity
But yet Your love and mercy
Led You to Gethsemane
You did this all for me

And there You honoured Heav'n's decree
You manifest Your glory
And You paid my sins' penalty
Crucified on Calvary's tree
You did this all for me

"Lama sabachtani"
Death seemed to claim the victory
But then You conquered on day three
The triumph of Your majesty
You did this all for me
