What I Did For Love

Verse 1 I saw you walking down a broken road, Carrying shame like a heavy load. You tried to hide in the dark of night, But My love was reaching with heaven’s light. Before the world had known your name, I chose the cross and I bore your blame. Every thorn and every scar Was proof of just how loved you are. Chorus This is what I did for love— I left My throne in heaven above. I walked your earth, I felt your pain, I wore your sorrow, I bore your shame. I stretched My hands on a rugged tree, Gave My life so you’d be free. Every drop of crimson blood Was what I did for love. Verse 2 I felt the nails, I heard the cries, Saw the doubt in weary eyes. They did not know the reason why The Son of God had come to die. But through the darkness, through the grave, Love was the power that came to save. The stone was rolled, the grave undone, And mercy rose with the morning sun. Chorus This is what I did for love— I left My throne in heaven above. I walked your earth, I felt your pain, I wore your sorrow, I bore your shame. I stretched My hands on a rugged tree, Gave My life so you’d be free. Every drop of crimson blood Was what I did for love. Bridge No greater love has ever been shown Than laying down My life for My own. If you will trust, if you believe, Grace is the gift you will receive. I’m standing now with open arms, Still bearing scars that prove My heart. Final Chorus (soft to strong) This is what I did for love— From Bethlehem to the cross above. From borrowed tomb to victory, I paid the price to ransom thee. Child, come home, don’t be afraid, The debt is paid, the way is made. Forever sealed in heaven above— That’s what I did… That’s what I did… That’s what I did for love.
