What Did He Die For - Where I Stand Album Version
He was 21 in 1944.
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?
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,
What did He die for?
He died for freedom.
He died for love.
And all the things we do to pay Him back
Will never be enough.
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?
