Verse 1
He had everything, King on the throne of the universe/
Power & riches, fame & position, praise of the angels & idyllic living/
He gave up everything, left Home in the Heavens for ruined Earth/
Our Maker became one of us, infinite God covered in dust/
He said He wanted to make a trade/
All our wickedness & our shame/
All our punishment, & our sorrow, horrific deaths & Hell to follow/
For His free gift of blessed rescue, wrath appeased so He’s pleased to bless you/
His perfection, rest no need to stress dude/
Life eternal let his love arrest you/
What are we waiting for? God help our cynicism/
It’s a wicked trick in sickened sinners bit with venom bitter like cinnamon’s in em/
Who are we to tell you, what you can & can’t do?/
Trading your blessedness for all our wretchedness; faith is accepting this to be true/

Hook
Why?
Would you die?
For us, for dust, for love, you crushed your only Son/

My Hell on your soul/
I’m beyond grateful/
Gave your best to buy me/
Hallelujah why me?/ 2x

You save for the praise of your glorious grace/
I’m in awe of your love but much more of your Face/

Verse 2
What motivated, the One whom I hated/
To go on exchangin, my doom for salvation/
One thing’s clear man, I know it wasn’t me/
Wasn’t anything I did, I was 6 feet deep/
I was revelin dead in sin dark no edison, devil been bedeviling me/
But God rich in mercy, because of his great love/
Sent Jesus to absorb the just due for the evil crimes we’d done/
Gifts us purity that we’re in need of to live before the Consuming Fire/
For eternity no infirmities just joy, His glory our true desire/
It’s absurdity, God help our cynicism/
It’s a wicked trick in sickened sinners bit with venom bitter like cinnamon’s in em/
Who are we to tell you, what you can & can’t do?/
Trading your blessedness for all our wretchedness; faith is accepting this to be true/
