For What Earthly Reason lyrics

For what earthly reason
Would the Heavenly Father
Send down His Son
To suffer rejection
And pay for crimes He had not done
For what earthly reason
Would the Father let Him hang on a tree
I wept with the answer
That one earthly reason was me

I was the reason
That one earthly reason
I was the guilty
He was the sacrifice
I was the taker
He was the giver
Dying while I go free
That one earthly rеason was me

The fairest of angеls
Were not summoned from the throne
Up in the sky
To purchase my pardon
Not even the angels could die
The only provision
For my freedom was destined to be
The sweet Lamb of Glory
And His only reason was me
I was the reason
That one earthly reason
I was the guilty
He was the sacrifice
I was the taker
He was the giver
Dying while I go free
That one earthly reason was me

That one earthly reason
His only reason was me
