Verse 1
You know my guilt and you know my shame
cause you held it on your shoulders
as they nailed you to a tree
you took my sin and you shared my blame
and you cleansed me with your blood
as they pierced your hands and feet
Chorus 1
why did you do it for me
why did you do it for me
Verse 2
You know my trials and you own my pain
cause you left the throne of heaven
to become someone like me
You took your crown and you chose to trade it
for thrones that broke your brow
while they mocked your majesty
Chorus 2
why did you do it for me
why did you do it for me
I'm alive because you died
Why did you do it for me
Tag
You're alive You're alive
You're alive You're alive
Bridge
Jesus i'm nothing without you
But now I'm perfectly loved
Washed in the flood of your mercy
Cleansed by your innocent blood
