That's What It Takes To Be A Savior

Trade away a golden street for a dusty road
Exchange your royalty to wear a sinner's crown
Leave your palace and your throne for a cross that's not your own
Let shame replace the mercy you pour out

That's what it takes to be a Savior
That's what it takes to be a King
What it means to sacrifice, to redeem and change a life
That's what it takes, that's what it takes to be a Savior

Take the nails and love the ones with hammers in their hands
Hear the shouts of those who only mock your name
Feel the sudden sting of death as you draw your final breath
To cry out to a God who's turned away

That's what it takes to be a Savior
That's what it takes to be a King
What it means to sacrifice, to redeem and change a life
That's what it takes, that's what it takes

Feel deception's kiss upon your face
The agony within as your heart breaks
As your eyes dim just let life fade away
Then prove that you are God
And walk out of your grave

That's what it takes to be a Savior

That's what it takes to be a Savior
That's what it takes to be a King
What it means to sacrifice, to redeem and change a life
That's what it takes, that's what it takes

That's what it takes to be a Savior
That's what it takes to be a King
What it means to sacrifice, to redeem and change a life
That's what it takes, that's what it takes
To be a Savior! To be a Savior!
