It could have been early in the morning
When God called His Son to His side
He gently put His arm around Him
And said Son the world needs a sacrifice
I watched as Cain slew his only brother
I felt the pain when Samson gave his life
I've listen to the cries of those in prison
Now I'm asking You to give for them Your life
Will You go for the woman, who's never had a home
For all the children who are hungry and all alone
For the man that makes his living working underground
For everyone will You go
It could have been that same evening
When Jesus stood to His feet
And He walked through the ages of time
He watched a little boy leave this life too soon
And a mom and dad that nearly lost their minds
He felt the pain of brothers fighting brothers
He felt the grief of families torn apart
He listened to a sinking ship choir singing
Nearer my God to Thee
(Nearer my God to Thee)
I wonder if when Jesus saw His footsteps from the manger to the Cross
(Nearer my God to Thee)
If that's when He knew He would give His life for a world that was lost
I'll go for the woman who's never
Never had a home
For all the children who are hungry and all alone
For the man who makes his living working underground
For everyone I'll go
For everyone I'll go
