Crystal Lewis - You Didn't Have to Do It lyrics

I'll never know why Why you did what you did You didn't have to die But you did You hung on the cross So that I wouldn't be lost You took my place Now You're pleadin' my case You didn't have to do it Oh, but I'm glad you did You didn't have to do it But I'm glad you did You didn't have to suffer You didn't have to give your life You could have come down from the cross But you chose to die You said "Father forgive them For they know not what they do" An when they pierced Your side You just hung bled and died I'll never know why Why you did what you did You didn't have to die But you did You hung on the cross So that I wouldn't be lost You took my place Now You're pleadin' my case You didn't have to do it Oh, but I'm glad you did You didn't have to do it But I'm glad you did You didn't have to come down From the Father's side But because of Your love for me You made the sacrifice You knew no sin But became sin for me An all who believe Can live eternally I'll never know why Why you did what you did You didn't have to die But you did You hung on the cross So that I wouldn't be lost You took my place Now You're pleadin' my case You didn't have to do it Oh, but I'm glad you did You didn't have to do it But I'm glad you did You didn't have to do it But I'm glad you did You could have come down from the cross Then my soul would be lost But You chose to stay And Your love made a way
