The Sacrifice


One time I had a dream
That Jesus walked with me
And we walked here on earth
What a sight to see

Tears began to fill His eyes
As He looked at the reasons He died
He asked me if I'd done the work
That He had given me

Then He said to them,

(Chorus)
Why don't you want to love Me?
Tell Me, what do I have to do?
I gave everything that I had
Just to be with you, so tell Me now
Why don't you want to love Me?
I knew you before I even gave you life
All you'd have to do is accept me
I've already made the sacrifice
 I've made the sacrifice

I couldn't bare to look at Him
As we walked down the streets filled with sin
I could feel the pain of my Father
As countless souls slipped away

He reaced and He reached to them all
But they simply ignored His call
What can you do if noone hears you?
Not hearing, God say...

(Chorus)

(Bridge)
Embarrased, no excuses
Did I put my life to good uses?
Have I done all, that I could?
Was I doing Heaven any good?

I never thought about how, God would feel like
Looking at this world, looking at my life
And now He stood before me, though in just a dream
And the pain in His Eyes I can still see

So I'm asking you now...

Why don't you want to love Him?
Tell me, what else does He have to do?
He gave everything that He could
Just to live with you
So tell me, tell me now
Why don't you want to love Him?
He knew you before He even gave you your life
All you'd have to do is accept Him
He was The Sacrifice

He was the Sacrifice...

"I asked myself one day, 'Why wouldn't anybody want to love a God as great as Him?' I can't figure out why they don't and I may never know. Plain and simple, why not? Am I doing what I have been called to do for the Kingdom and if Jesus and I take a walk now, will He see a world that's being changed, or a world that's left untouched?

I didn't write this song, I remember it well...I sat at the computer thinking and I heard it from nowhere inside my head and just started typing the words and before I knew it, I couldn't stop staring at the message I had just been given. You know you didn't do it when you are amazed at what's been done, and I am unspeakably amazed at the power God put in this song."
