Verse 1:
When Jesus died
It was my sin that pierced his hands and his side
The day iniquity and suffering and pride
Of all mankind
Was crucified
Mmhmm
When Jesus prayed
He could've cursed this angry world but forgave
That all who call upon His name would be saved
And through Him find
Eternal life
Mmhmm
Chorus:
When He died
He took upon himself the guilt that was mine
As the Lamb was sacrified
Heaven's veil
Was opened wide
Mmhmm
I am free
To be the kind of man He's called me to be
Living life for Him not me
As I realize
Why Jesus died
Verse 2:
For those who walk in the light
To pass forever
And see their lives
Through Heaven's eyes
And so it starts today
To live out loud this Word of Life in every way
To bear my cross at any cost that I must pay
So unashamed
Of Jesus' name
Mmhmm
Chorus:
When He died
He took upon himself the guilt that was mine
As the Lamb was sacrified
Heaven's veil
Was opened wide
Mmhmm
I am free
To be the kind of man He's called me to be
Living life for Him not me
As I realize
Why Jesus died
Bridge:
And still it's so hard to believe
How the God of everything
Could become my sin for me
And died to set me free
He could've just refused
But for love that He went through
What I could not do...
Final Chorus:
When He died
He took upon Himself the guilt that was mine
As the Lamb was sacrified
Heaven's veil
Was opened wide
Mmhmm
I am free
To be the kind of man He's called me to be
Living life for Him not me
As I realize
Why Jesus died
Oh....
As I realize
Why Jesus died
Final Verse:
When Jesus died
It was my sin that pierced his hands and his side
The day iniquity and suffering and pride
Of all mankind
Was crucified
Mmhmm...
