I still remember the bread and the wine
Knowin' that I would soon give up my life
The ache of betrayal, the kiss of a friend
And child, if I had to I'd do it again
I still remember the sting of the thorns
The weight of the cross that my shoulders bore
The sound of the nails when they pierced through my skin
And child, if I had to I'd do it again
'Cause there's no distance too far
No pain too great
There's no grave too dark
No hell I won't pay
The proof that it's finished
Is here in my hands
I know I don't have to, child
But oh for you I'd do it again
Oh, I still remember the spear in my side
And the last thing I said before I died
Was, "Father forgive them", as I took on their sin
And child, if I had to I'd do it again
'Cause there's no distance too far
No pain too great
There's no grave too dark
No hell I won't pay
The proof that it's finished
Is here in my hands
I know I don't have to, child
But oh for you I'd do it again and again and again
I'd do it again and again and again
Want you to know
Oh, I love you that much, I love you that much
Want you to know, oh-oh
I still remember that very first breath
While the rest of the world still thought I was dead
The weight of the stone and the light that poured in
Death is defeated forever, amen
Knowin' that I would soon give up my life
The ache of betrayal, the kiss of a friend
And child, if I had to I'd do it again
I still remember the sting of the thorns
The weight of the cross that my shoulders bore
The sound of the nails when they pierced through my skin
And child, if I had to I'd do it again
'Cause there's no distance too far
No pain too great
There's no grave too dark
No hell I won't pay
The proof that it's finished
Is here in my hands
I know I don't have to, child
But oh for you I'd do it again
Oh, I still remember the spear in my side
And the last thing I said before I died
Was, "Father forgive them", as I took on their sin
And child, if I had to I'd do it again
'Cause there's no distance too far
No pain too great
There's no grave too dark
No hell I won't pay
The proof that it's finished
Is here in my hands
I know I don't have to, child
But oh for you I'd do it again and again and again
I'd do it again and again and again
Want you to know
Oh, I love you that much, I love you that much
Want you to know, oh-oh
I still remember that very first breath
While the rest of the world still thought I was dead
The weight of the stone and the light that poured in
Death is defeated forever, amen
