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
