He Laid it Down

He Laid it Down

 

Well if you take a good look

You’ll see a shining light

It’s written in the good book

About a King gentle and contrite

Well he had enormous power

He coulda done as He please

But it was His finest hour

To be crucified on a tree

 

He laid it down

So others could live

And now I’ve found

I’ve got the will to give

Cause he laid it down

 

Oh yes I got the will to go out

To speak the truth and defeat doubt

I shall clothe the naked and feed the poor

I’ll serve in no army I’ll fight no war

And in times of sorrow I shall not frown

Cause He laid it down He laid it down

 

He laid it down

So others could live

And now I’ve found

I’ve got the will to give

Cause he laid it down

 

With wonderful words he did speak

To love your enemy and turn the cheek

He was tempted but never did sin

He died but death could not hold him

Jesus sits in heaven with a glorious crown

Cause he laid it down he laid it down

 

He laid it down

So others could live

And now I’ve found

I’ve got the will to give

Cause he laid it down

 

Well in this world I often suffer defeat

But by God’s grace my hope is complete

It is true I cannot pay salvation’s price

That was done with Jesus’ great sacrifice

Oh yes I’m clean and heaven bound

Cause he laid it down He laid it down

 

He laid it down

So others could live

And now I’ve found

I’ve got the will to give

Cause he laid it down
