For the Sake of My Heart |
If you were the king of a great and mighty kingdom, |
Would you give it all away for one like me? |
Would you step down from your throne |
And all you’d ever known |
To walk this earth in mere mortality? |
Would you give up all your treasures |
Beyond what could be measured |
To live a life--a simple, common man? |
Would you be born just to die |
To save a worthless soul as I, |
And shed your precious blood for who I am? |
For the sake of my heart, He was willing to go |
All the way to an old, rugged Cross |
Where He took of my shame |
And banished my blame |
So that I no longer had to be lost. |
There was no reason to die, |
But He knew that death would never keep us apart! |
And He loved me so much, He chose Calvary |
For the sake of my heart! |
He couldn’t bear the thought of my sins left unforgiven; |
His love was far too great to leave me alone. |
And as the nails were driven in, |
He cried, 'Father, please forgive them!' |
He showed the greatest love to me |
This world has ever known! |
For the sake of my heart, He was willing to go |
All the way to an old, rugged Cross |
Where He took of my shame, |
And banished my blame |
So that I no longer had to be lost. |
There was no reason to die, |
But He knew that death would never keep us apart! |
And He loved me so much, He chose Calvary |
For the sake of my heart (my heart)! |
Yes, He loved me so much, He chose Calvary |
For the sake of my heart! |
My heart! |
