I'll never know why, why You did
What You did
You didn't have to die, but You did
You hung on the cross so that I wouldn't be lost
You took my place now You're pleading my case
You did have to do it
But I'm glad You did
You didn't have to do it
But I'm glad You did
You didn't have to suffer
You didn't have to give Your life
You could have come down from that cross
But You chose to die
You said Father forgive them
For they know not what they do
And when they peirced Your side
You just hung, bled, and died
I'll never know why, why You did
What You did
You didn't have to die, but You did
You hung on the cross so that I wouldn't be lost
You took my place now You're pleading my case
You did have to do it
But I'm glad You did
You didn't have to do it
But I'm glad You did
You didn't have to come down
From the Father's side
But because of Your love for me
You made that sacrifice
You knew no sin but became sin for me
And all who believe can
Live eternally
I'll never know why, why You did
What You did
You didn't have to die, but You did
You hung on the cross so that I wouldn't be lost
You took my place now You're pleading my case
You did have to do it
But I'm glad You did
You didn't have to do it
But I'm glad You did
You could have come down from the cross
Then my soul would be lost
But You chose to stay
And Your love made a way
