Lyrics
BECAUSE OF YOU
written by Holly Brelia (copyright 2006 Holly Brelia)
He was nailed to the cross; He was left there to die
He explained it all before still they wondered why
He knew right from the start, the price that He would pay
To save us all, He had to die that way
The time for our redemption had finally come
Jesus the lamb of God, He was the chosen one
He suffered in silence while they mocked and beat Him too.
And He did it all because of you
Chorus:
Now Lord
Because of you, I can soar on eagle?s wings
Because of you, I can do everything
Because of you, I can stand and walk in your ways
And Because of you Dear Lord, I?ll live with you in heaven, some day
Verse:
He had the power to get down off the cross
If He?d stopped at all, we would still be lost
Dying to fulfill God?s will, He did what He had to do
And He did it all because of you
Chorus
Bridge:
He died and rose again.
To pay for all our sin
And by His blood we are purified
Chorus
Tag:
He was nailed to the cross, and he was left there to die
And He did it all because of you.
