What Held You On The Cross

I know You, I've seen You all my life

A figure on a crucifix, a death without a fight

You're hanging there upon a cross just by Your hands and feet

The picture's clear, but the story's incomplete

So what was it that led You to that tree?

What made You lay Your body down to save someone like me?

'Cause though it's true, I know that You were God inside a man

So I guess sometimes it's hard to understand

What held You on the cross when You could have walked away?

I see what You have done, and I just have to say

What held You on the cross was more than just the nails

With all the pain and suffering and all that You had lost

Your love for me could only be what held You on the cross

You saw me, guess You must have known

My life would be in darkness, so You and You alone

Would bear the stripes, the crown of thorns in all humility

Lord, I see myself, but it's hard for me to see

What held You on the cross when You could have walked away?

I see what You have done, and I just have to say

What held You on the cross was more than just the nails

With all the pain and suffering and all that You had lost

Your love for me could only be what held You on the cross

I don't deserve Your mercy, still You love me just the same

You died for me, and yet it's hard to know

What held You on the cross when You could have walked away?

I see what You have done, and I just have to say

What held You on the cross was more than just the nails

With all the pain and suffering and all that You had lost

Your love for me could only be what held You on the cross

Your love for me could only be what held You on the cross
