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 reason was me
The fairest of angels 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 That 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 And He was the giver Dying while I go free That one earthly reason was me That one earthly reason His only reason That one earthly reason was me
