For the life of me
I'll never understand
Why a king would leave this throne
In gloryland
Leave all the slender Heaven holds
To come redeem
Our sickened sin-sick souls
I'll never fully know
The pain he bore
When they placed upon his head
That crown of thorns
I'll never know
For I wasn't there to see
But he did it all
For the life of me
and for the life of me
he freely laid his down
So that one day
I could wear a robe and crown
And I'll dwell with the king eternally
Yes he did this
for the life of me
