Inspiration

This song came from a flash of revelation during prayer one evening.  I was suddenly overwhelmed by the realisation that Jesus’ desire to set us free was so great that nothing would have stopped Him from going to that cross.  It wasn’t an accident or an unfortunate set of events.  Every fibre of His being was filled with compassion for each one of us and He was determined to do what was necessary to free us from the plight that we are in.  He chose the cross.  For us.

Lyrics

You came from heaven, born as a man.
Left behind Your glory to fulfil Your saving plan.

Your heart was filled with compassion
For Your children that were lost.
That’s what drove You to the cross of our salvation.
Determined to pay the cost.

You looked into our hearts, saw who we really are.
You longed to free us from our burden and heal us with Your love.

Your heart was filled with compassion
For Your children that were lost.
That’s what drove You to the cross of our salvation.
Determined to pay the cost.

Now we’re free if we choose to be.
We have only to believe.
We cannot earn it.  Don’t strive for it.
It’s ours to receive.

Your heart was filled with compassion
For Your children that were lost.
That’s what drove You to the cross of our salvation.
Determined to pay the cost.

You came from heaven, born as a man.
Left behind Your glory to fulfil Your saving plan.

Your heart was filled with compassion
For Your children that were lost.
That’s what drove You to the cross of our salvation.
Determined to pay the cost.
