I will never understand why a mighty God would do it
I will never comprehend why He made Himself go through it
But He looked down on us with compassion
And did what He had to do
He willingly came – willingly gave His life
He willingly died – willingly paid the price
He did it all so willingly
I will never understand the love that made Him do it
And I’ll never comprehend the pain it took to prove it
But He looked down on us with compassion
And did what He had to do
