I've heard it said that a man would climb a mountain
Just to be with the one he loves
How many times has he broken that promise
It has never been done.
I've never climbed the highest mountain
But I walked the hill of calvary
Chorus:
Just to be with you, I'd do anything
There's no price I would not pay
Just to be with you, I'd give anything
I would give my life away.
I've heard it said that a man would swim the ocean
Just to be with the one he loves
How may times has he broken that promise
It can never be done
I've never swam the deepest ocean
But I walked upon the raging sea
Repeat chorus
(Bridge)
I know that you don't understand
the fullness of My love
How I died upon the cross for your sins
And I know that you don't realize
how much that I gave you
But I promise, I would do it all again.
Just to be with you, I've done everything
There's no price I did not pay
Just to be with you, I gave everything
Yes, I have my life away.

Convinced of my deception
I've always been a fool
I fear this love reaction
Just like you said I would
A rose could never lie
About the love it brings
And I could never promise
To be any of those things
If I were not so weak
If I were not so cold
If I were not so scared
of being broken, growing old,
I would be...
I would be...
Blessed are the shallow
Depth they'll never find
There seems to be some comfort
In rooms I try to hide
Exposed beyond the shadows
You take the cup from me
Your dirt removes my blindness
Your pain becomes my peace
If I were not so weak
If I were not so cold
If I were not so scared
of being broken, growing old,
I would be...
I would be...
I would be...
frail.
There's a red-haired girl at the grocery store
See her all the time
She weighs my tomatoes
And rings up my lemons and limes
Sometimes I catch her lookin' my way
When I'm over by the frozen food
And sometimes I try to find
somethin' funny to say
In a modest attempt to elevate her mood
"You're in luck - the soup's on sale.
A dollar eighty six is your change...
And would you like a bag for that?
Well, take it easy; have a good day."
These are the things that she says to me
When our produce deals are done
And I wonder if she's ever noticed how
I always seem to wind up in line
at Register One

Is this the strange feeling of You,
working all to good?
Because I am so confused,
I don't even ask for what I should.
When I asked for and deserved a stone,
You broke and gave Your body as bread.
And even the stone that dropped down,
and rolled away, spoke of the One who bled.
There You go, working good from my bad.
There You go, making robes from my rags.
There You go, meltin' crowns from my calves.
There You go, working good of all I have,
'Til all I have is not that bad.
When I asked for and deserved a serpent,
You gave a net full of fish.
And even the serpent that told the lie,
when lifted high, foretold the gift...
