When they took Him
Like a common criminal, they threw the book at Him
He let them have their way
Cuz to bring us back to Him it had to happen that way
He never ran away
He never was ashamed
To call me by my name
Now it's not the same
Since I've looked at things that way
Now I'm proud to say--I Love God
When He died
He was bleeding from a cross as if He'd killed and lied
He loved us, came to serve
And His love for us drove Him to a death He did not deserve
And when He comes
Are you gonna be afraid or rejoice to see the day
Now it's done
He went full on for you--tell me, what are you gonna do?
