YOU DID IT ANYWAY
You prayed to pass the cup
As the angels watched you kneel
You already knew just how the cross would feel
How deep the spear would go
How sharp the thorns would be
And that your father
Would forsake you in your agony
You did it anyway
You walked on up that hill
And the sounds of sacrifice are ringing still
You knew the magnitude
Of the price you’d have to pay
But for me, you did it anyway
You knew your closest friends would turn
Their backs on you
And leave you all alone
To do what only you could do
But among the saddest things that caused
Your heart to grieve
Was knowing there were those
Who never would believe.
You did it anyway
You walked on up that hill
And the sounds of sacrifice are ringing still
You knew the magnitude
Of the price you’d have to pay
But for me, you did it anyway
You knew my righteousness
Would never be enough
It wasn’t out of duty, it was out of love.
You did it anyway
You walked on up that hill
And the sounds of sacrifice are ringing still
You knew the magnitude
Of the price you’d have to pay
But for me, you did it anyway
You did it anyway….
But for me you did it anyway
