But I've heard it said
That a man would climb a mountain
Just to be with the one he loves
How many times has he broken that promise?
It has never been done
Well, I never climbed the highest mountains
But I walked the hill of Calvary
And just to be with you, I would do anything
There's no price I would not pay, no
And just to be with you, I would give everything
And I would give my life away
Yeah, yeah, yeah
And I've heard it said
That a man would swim the ocean
Just to be with the one he loves
But all of those dreams are an empty motion
It can never be done
Well, I never swam the deepest ocean
But I walked upon the raging sea
And just to be with you, I would do anything
There's no price I would not pay, no
And just to be with you, I would give everything
And I would give my life away
Yeah, yeah, yeah
And I know that you don't understand the fullness of My love
How I died upon the cross for your sin
And I know that you don't realize how much that I give you
And I promise, I would do it all again
And just to be with you, I've done everything
There's no price I did not pay, no
And just to be with you, I gave everything
Oh, yes, I gave My life away
Away-yay, yeah
I gave My life away
Away-yay, yeah
And just to be with you
All just to be with you
All just to be with you
All just to be with you
That a man would climb a mountain
Just to be with the one he loves
How many times has he broken that promise?
It has never been done
Well, I never climbed the highest mountains
But I walked the hill of Calvary
And just to be with you, I would do anything
There's no price I would not pay, no
And just to be with you, I would give everything
And I would give my life away
Yeah, yeah, yeah
And I've heard it said
That a man would swim the ocean
Just to be with the one he loves
But all of those dreams are an empty motion
It can never be done
Well, I never swam the deepest ocean
But I walked upon the raging sea
And just to be with you, I would do anything
There's no price I would not pay, no
And just to be with you, I would give everything
And I would give my life away
Yeah, yeah, yeah
And I know that you don't understand the fullness of My love
How I died upon the cross for your sin
And I know that you don't realize how much that I give you
And I promise, I would do it all again
And just to be with you, I've done everything
There's no price I did not pay, no
And just to be with you, I gave everything
Oh, yes, I gave My life away
Away-yay, yeah
I gave My life away
Away-yay, yeah
And just to be with you
All just to be with you
All just to be with you
All just to be with you
