Jazz/Rock song about the love of God for us.

I enjoy music from many different styles, and that is reflected in my song writing. I write gospel songs in Southern gospel, bluegrass, jazz, pop, blues, etc. styles. Although I have lead worship and played keys and sang at our church, I'm not seeking a career as a performing artist. I've been writing and playing Christian music for over 40 years. I only seek to have the Lord glorified in my music. I recorded these demo songs on my home studio to have something to present to publishers/gospel music artists and to worship leaders who would wish to use my songs in their praise and worship services.

Lyrics
He came to earth a simple man in a simple time & place. He lived a life of serving, a life of love and grace. He spoke of joy and freedom, He lived a life of faith. He died in my place. He died in my place. Chorus Why did it have to happen? Why did He have to die? Why did He leave His glory? Why did He bear those stripes? Why did it have to happen? What did He see in me That He died in my place? He died in my place. vs 2 There's nothing good within my heart to earn His love for me. The penalty that I deserved was paid on Calvary. He knows my every sorrow, He feels my every care. He died in my place. He died in my place. chorus vs 3 I can't explain the Father's love, I just don't understand I only know that I am free, and that's the Master's plan Free from sin and sorrow, guilt has gone away He died in my place. He died in my place. bridge They laid Him in a borrowed tomb, They put Him in the ground They rolled a stone to keep Him there And hell thought He was bound. But then, with just a single word He tore the bars away. Because He rose, now I can live My debt is fully paid. chorus
