Copyright 2005 Christopher Bryant Cool Words and music by Christopher Bryant Cool (ASCAP) V1: Father, I’m before You, like so many times before But this time I know I need You even more The cup that is before me is a bitter one to drink But what will happen to them if I don’t, I can’t bear to think So Father, I’m before You, down on my knees Praying won’t You let this cup pass from me please? Yet not my will, but Yours be done, ‘Cause deep down in my heart I know that I’m the only one CHORUS 1: The only one who can set them free No one else can do it, no one but me So I need the strength that is only Your to give I’m going to the cross and I’ll die so they can live V2: Father I’m before you, now my arms are stretched out wide They nailed me to this cross, and here I’ll stay until I die But Father please forgive them, for they know not what they do They don’t know they’re only killing me so I can bring them back to You Father I’m before You, now my heartbeat's getting slow But if I don’t pay this price for them, death is all they’ll know So I must taste it for them, be the lamb for their sins And death will be defeated when You raise me up again CHORUS 2: Because I am the only one who can set them free No one else can do it, no one but me So I need the strength that is only Yours to give I’m hanging on this cross and I’ll die so they can live
