I love the song “What Did He Die For?” by Twila Paris
He was hope and he was courage on a lonely shore.
Sent there by a mother with love beyond her tears.
Just a young American who chose to rise above his fears.
And as I watch him struggle up that hill
Without a thought of turning back
I cannot help but wonder.
What did he die for when he died for you and me?
He made the sacrifice so that we could all be free.
I believe we will answer each to Heaven
For the way we spend a priceless liberty.
Look inside and ask the question
What did he die for when he died for me?
(Then she switches to Jesus)
To the darkest day in A.D. 33
Came the mercy and compassion of eternity.
Sent there by a Father with love beyond his tears.
Blameless One, the Only Son,
To bear the guilt of all these years.
And as I watch Him struggle up that hill
Without a thought of turning back,
I cannot help but wonder,
What did He die for when He died for you and me?
He made the sacrifice so that we could all be free.
I believe we will answer each to heaven
For the way we spend a priceless liberty.
Look inside and ask the question,
And all the things we do to pay Him back
What did He die for when He died for you and me?
He made the sacrifice so that we could all be free.
I believe we will answer each to Heaven
For the way we spend a priceless liberty.
Look inside and ask the question,
(I HIGHLY recommend watching the music video on YouTube)
