The Price that Love Demands
My friends, why are you sleeping?
Could you not watch?
Could you not pray?
Could you not find the strength to stay awake with me?
If you knew what I know,
feeling what I feel,
you would stand beside me,
facing this ordeal.
If you could see into tomorrow,
for a moment feel my sorrow...
If you knew what I know
you would know the cost
that's hanging in the balance,
hanging on the cross.
If the weight of all the world was on your heart,
where would you start?
Is my love strong enough to hold me?
Or would nails have to pierce my hands?
Would I be crushed by the cross or the sins that I carry?
How much more can love demand?
How much more can love demand?
Father, could there be another way?
Could there be a better plan?
Do I have to drink this cup of sorrow?
Help your shepherd be the lamb!
Let my love be strong enough to hold me,
not just the nails that will pierce my hands.
Let me be crushed by the weight of the sins that I carry!
I will pay the price that love demands.
The price that love demands.
Could you not watch?
Could you not pray?
Could you not find the strength to stay awake with me?
If you knew what I know,
feeling what I feel,
you would stand beside me,
facing this ordeal.
If you could see into tomorrow,
for a moment feel my sorrow...
If you knew what I know
you would know the cost
that's hanging in the balance,
hanging on the cross.
If the weight of all the world was on your heart,
where would you start?
Is my love strong enough to hold me?
Or would nails have to pierce my hands?
Would I be crushed by the cross or the sins that I carry?
How much more can love demand?
How much more can love demand?
Father, could there be another way?
Could there be a better plan?
Do I have to drink this cup of sorrow?
Help your shepherd be the lamb!
Let my love be strong enough to hold me,
not just the nails that will pierce my hands.
Let me be crushed by the weight of the sins that I carry!
I will pay the price that love demands.
The price that love demands.
