VERSE 1:
You gave up heaven's throne
To wear this flesh and bone
Oh God, You are faithful
You took the stripes and nails
To pierce our sin and shame
Oh God You are faithful
VERSE 2:
A father gave his son
And the heart of heaven broke
Oh God You are faithful
Our sin was washed in white
With a cry that tore the night
Oh God You are faithful
CHORUS 1:
You didn't have to
But You wanted to
You gave Your life for us
You are faithful
VERSE 3:
You conquered death and grave
When You rolled the stone away
The power of hell was done
It is finished
CHORUS 2:
You didn't have to
But You wanted to
You gave Your life for us Jesus
For Your glory
You endured the cross
We're forever grateful God
You are faithful
BRIDGE:
Your suffering
Was an offering
You gave to us
Freely
The stripes You bore
The crown You wore
It was all for love
It was Your joy
BRIDGE:
Your suffering
Was an offering
You gave to us
Freely
The stripes You bore
The crown You wore
It was all for love
It was Your joy
CHORUS 2:
You didn't have to
But You wanted to
You gave Your life for us Jesus
For Your glory
You endured the cross
We're forever grateful God
You are faithful
