The Sacrifice

By Joey

Sacrifice,

You sacrificed

You gave it all for me,

Just to bring me close, my King.

Yes, You sacrificed,

You sacrificed

You set this captive free,

Yesterdays pain is history 

So You sacrificed,

Yes you sacrificed,

Verse 1

I was bound by the weight of sin.

My heart was far from You.

Yet You reached into my darkness,

And carried me into the light.

Sacrifice,

You sacrificed

You gave it all for me,

Just to bring me close, my King.

Yes, You sacrificed,

You sacrificed

You set this captive free,

Yesterdays pain is history 

So You sacrificed,

Yes you sacrificed,

Verse 2

The cross was heavy.

The shame was not Yours, but mine.

Still You chose it, without turning back.

Love held You there,

And love has brought me here.

Sacrifice,

You sacrificed

You gave it all for me,

Just to bring me close, my King.

Yes, You sacrificed,

You sacrificed

You set this captive free,

Yesterdays pain is history 

So You sacrificed,

Yes you sacrificed,

Bridge 

Now I live in the freedom of Your scars.

Your blood speaks louder than my past.

I will not forget,

The cost of my freedom.

You are worthy, Jesus.

Sacrifice,

You sacrificed

You gave it all for me,

Just to bring me close, my King.

Yes, You sacrificed,

You sacrificed

You set this captive free,

Yesterdays pain is history 

So You sacrificed,

Yes you sacrificed!
