A seemingly BIG song, a bit grandiose, maybe?
Story behind the song
What was going through Christ's mind on the eve of his crucifixion?
Lyrics
Father let this cup pass before me
Why does this have to be my time
Remind me again why it has to be me
That pays for humanity's crime
Drive a nail into my arm
So your soul won't come to harm
All the pain of the whole world
Just how much can I stand?
I know that I am Your Son
But I'm still just a man
Human death's a prospect
I'm not sure I want to face
But You're will be done, I'll die
So man can have Your grace
Have Your grace
Betrayel and injustice as my flesh is torn
Pin me to your cross and crown me with your thorns
Father why have You turned Your back on Me
All I wanted was for these people to see
Stick a spear into My side
Has My death brought you new life
Can't you understand what it is
That I'm offering?
Here's the cure for death, here's the end
To your suffering
Give your heart to Me, after all
I gave Mine for you
Let me live within your life
So My light can shine through
