He didn't have to save my life
He could have saved His own
He didn't have to walk that hill
and suffer there alone
He didn't have
to carry my cross
or pay a price so high
He didn't have to die for me
He could have walked on by
A band of angels
stood near by
to save God's only son
Ten thousand
waited for a word
But His lips uttered none
He bought my freedom
with his life
And I can't tell you why
He didn't have to set me free
He could have walked on by
I didn't earn His precious love
This gift He gave to me
I've never done a thing for Him
But still this gift was free
He didn't have to walk
through the dark
so I could see the light
He didn't have to love me so
He could have walked on by
A band of angels
stood near by
to save God's only son
Ten thousand
waited for a word
But His lips uttered none
He bought my freedom
with his life
And I can't tell you why
He didn't have to set me free
He could have walked on by
He didn't have to die for me
For me
He could have walked on by
