Lyrics
Trade away a golden street for a dusty road
Exchange your royalty to wear a sinner's crown
Leave your palace and your throne for a cross that's not your own
Let shame replace the mercy you pour out
That's what it takes to be a Savior
That's what it takes to be a King
What it means to sacrifice
To redeem and change a life
That's what it takes
That's what it takes to be a Savior
Take the nails and love the ones with hammers in their hands
Hear the shouts of those who only mock your name
Feel the sudden sting of death as you draw your final breath
To cry out to a God who's turned away
That's what it takes to be a Savior
That's what it takes to be a King
What it means to sacrifice
To redeem and change a life
That's what it takes
That's what it takes
Oh, feel deception's kiss upon your face
The agony within as your heart breaks
As your eyes dim, just let life fade away
Then prove that you are God and walk out of your grave
That's what it takes to be a Savior
That's what it takes to be a King (To be a King)
Oh, what it means to sacrifice
To redeem and change a life
That's what it takes
That's what it takes
Oh, that's what it takes to be a Savior
That's what it takes to be a King
Oh, what it means to sacrifice
To redeem and change a life
That's what it takes
That's what it takes
To be a Savior
Oh, to be a Savior
