[Verse 1]
A Glong, Dlong Em7time ago,
AmI read in the CBible… how Jesus Emcame to save us aDll
‘Cuz Geven wDhen we Em7had our chance
To Amput salvation Cin our hands, it Emquickly became clear Cthat we would Dfall.
God Emsaved Israel Amout of Egypt, Embut that grace they all Amwould reject.
CGod gave Gthem the Amlaw, so tChat they could stand tDall.
I Gcannot cDomprehend Emquite why, GAm7od loved these people Dlike a bride.
GHis love for Dthem has Emnever died
So GCod… He sD7ent his Gpride.
[Chorus]
So Gwhy, Cwhy, did God sGend this Christ Dguy?
He’s our Gsavior, who faced Cdanger and evGen for us Ddied.
Spent three Gdays iCn the tomb, but on the Gthird day diDd rise
Singin’ EmI am now the ultimate prize. A7I am Emnow the ultimate D7prize.
[Verse 2]
GDo you know aboAmut His signs?
And how Che healed and eAmxorcised… EmYeah, the gospels Dtell us so.
GHe travD/F#elled ‘round, by Emland and sea
Through Am7villages in CGalilee, and by EmGod’s Spirit taught people A7how to grDow.
Well He Emtold the PhariDsee’s they sinned, so they Emall wanted to Ddo him in.
They laid Ctraps Gto make him A7lose, but He Csaw right through their D7rus---es!
They had to Gfind a D/F#real disEmhonest guy, to Ambetray the master Cin due time.
JudGas seemed D/F#to Emturn the tide… Gave Cthem the Father’s D7prideG. ACnd Gwe’re still asking…
[Chorus]
GWhy, Cwhy, did God sGend this Christ Dguy?
He’s our Gsavior, who faced Cdanger and evGen for us Ddied.
Spent three Gdays iCn the tomb, but on the Gthird day diDd rise
Singin’ EmI am now the ultimate prize. A7I am Emnow the ultimate D7prize.
[Verse 3]
In his tGrials, he refuAmsed to speak
Even whCen accused of Amblasphemy, Emthat’s not how he was Dusually.
From the kGing’s D/F#court to the GovEmernors,
The PAm7harisee’s caused Cquite a stir, the Emcrowd’s wanted him A7dead and so they Dscreamed.
Then Emafter whipped thirDty-nine times, the Emcrowd cried, “Death for Dhis crimes.”
So, PCilate Gwashed his A7hands, Condemned CJesus a D7guilty man.
The man Gwho’d waD/F#lked tEmhrough Galilee, trudged Amalong to CCalvary
They Gnailed him up D/F#right Emon a tree and kCilled, the D7Father’s priGde. CStGill we’re askin’…
[Chorus]
GWhy, Cwhy, did God sGend this Christ Dguy?
He’s our Gsavior, who faced Cdanger and evGen for us Ddied.
Spent three Gdays iCn the tomb, but on the Gthird day diDd rise
Singin’ EmI am now the ultimate prize. A7I am Emnow the ultimate D7prize.
[Verse 4]
GHope seemed lost, a wicked Amdouble-cross
CEnded at the foot Amof Jesus’ cross, Emthree hours and then our DLord was gone.
They laid hGim D/F#in a gEmuarded tomb,
So the body could not Cbe exhumed, Emby disciples li-ike Peter, A7James or DJohn.
When the Emsun came up on the Dthird day’s morn, the Emwomen came to Dhim, forlorn.
CBut the Gstone was rolled aA7way. JesCus is alive toD7day!
To the gGates of D/F#Hell, he’d Emgone you see, to Amfree us from capCtivity,
Beat Gdeath and D/F#beat deEmpravity, He CLives! The D7Father’s GPrideC. WGe’re now rejoicin’…
[Chorus]
GThis is Cwhy, God sGent this Christ Dguy!
He’s our Gsavior, who faced Cdanger and evGen for us Ddied.
Spent three Gdays iCn the tomb, but on the Gthird day diDd rise
Singin’ EmI am now the ultimate prize. A7I am Emnow the ultimate D7prize.
[Verse 5]
Yes, GJesus D/F#came to Emsave us all.
This was AmHis etCernal call. And EmHe is calling Dus today.
He Gcalls us D/F#to spread Emthe news.
To tell Ampeople that the Cgospel’s true. And that Emhe is Cthe life, the truth, the Dway.
Christ Emsends us all the AmSpirit too, so Emthat his power can Amwork in you.
God Cbuilds the Gkingdom Amthrough us. CThe Spirit shall Drenew us.
Christ’s Gbeen with D/F#us, he has not Emlied, the Am7work he Cdid will be our D7guide.
GYes, our God’s D/F#love is Emdeep and wide. Praise Am7to, the D7FatherG’s Pride.
