Before your people worshipped you

You said that something had to die

And as they brought their sacrifice you heard their cries


Before your children could come home

You said that something had to die

And as you brought your sacrifice we heard you cry


You know what it's like to give it up

You know how how it feels to let it go

You know what it's like to take it forget it forsake it

To raise your head and cry


It's all for you (Father) It's all for you

I live for you (Father) I die for you


I know that you can hear my voice

Because your servant paid the price

But there is silence in my mouth and I can't cry


So as I come to worship you

I know that something has to die

And as I bring my sacrifice just let it die


You know what it's like against your skin

You know how it feels beneath your hands

You know how it is to carry so rough and heavy

And underneath to cry...
