You Didn't Have to Do It - Crystal Lewis

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

Repeat Chorus

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

Repeat Chorus

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
