Brian Free - I'm Doing This for You lyrics



(Verse 1)
I stood there as they tried Him, for crimes He hadn't done,
No one else believe it, but I just knew He was the One,
I slid back into the crowd, trying to go unseen,
But when Pilot cried out "beat him", He pointed straight to me.
My friends, they all cheered me, as I took the whip in hand,
Placing stripes upon the back, of this guiltless Man,
The way He turned and looked at me, from my mind I can't erase,
And I'll never forget, the look on His face,

(Chorus)
He said, I'm doing this for you,
And I will still love you when you're through,
I'm doing this for you,
Though it took me by surprise, when I saw love in His eyes,
He said, I'm doing this for you.

(Verse 2)
High atop Mt. Calvary, with hammer and nail,
It became my duty, to crucify this Man,
I heard my friends gambling for His robe at my side,
I couldn't turn away, as He looked into my eyes.
"Father forgive them", I heard Him cry aloud,
"Behold the King of kings", someone mocked from the crowd,
Then the ground shook, and the thunder rolled, as He gave up the ghost,
But until the day I die, the thing that I'll remember most.

(Chorus)

(Tag)
The sacrifice that day, at Calvary,
was the Father's perfect plan to set man free.

(Chorus)

...for you.
