WHAT HELD YOU ON THE CROSS
by Michael
O'Brien and Hamm
I know
You--I've seen You all my life
A Figure on a
crucifix, a Death without a fight
You're hanging
there upon a cross just by Your hands and feet
The picture's
clear, but the story is incomplete…
So what was
it, that led You to that tree?
What made You
lay Your body down to save someone like me?
So though
it's true, I know that You were God inside a man…
So I guess
sometimes it's hard to understand…
What held You
on the cross when You could have walked away ?
I see what You
have done, and I just have to say
What held You
on the cross was more than just the nails
With all the
pain and suffering, and all that You had lost…
Your love for me could only be what
held You on the cross
You saw me--I
guess You must have known
My life would
be in darkness, so You and You alone would bear the stripes,
The crown of
thorns, and all humility…
Lord, I see
myself, but it's hard for me to see
What held You
on the cross when You could have walked away?
I see what You
have done, and I just have to say
What held You
on the cross was more than just the nails
With all the
pain and suffering, and all that You had lost
Your love for me could only be what
held you on the cross.
I don't deserve
Your mercy, still You loved me just the same
You died for me, and yet, and yet it's hard to know…
What held You
on the cross when You could have walked away ?
I see what You
have done, and I just have to say
What held You
on the cross was more than just the nails
With all the
pain and suffering, and all that You had lost
Your love for me could only be what
held you on the cross.
Your love for me could only be what
held you on the cross.
