YOU DID IT ANYWAY You prayed to pass the cup As the angels watched you kneel You already knew just how the cross would feel How deep the spear would go How sharp the thorns would be And that your father Would forsake you in your agony You did it anyway You walked on up that hill And the sounds of sacrifice are ringing still You knew the magnitude Of the price you'd have to pay But for me, you did it anyway You knew your closest friends would turn Their backs on you And leave you all alone To do what only you could do But among the saddest things that caused Your heart to grieve Was knowing there were those Who never would believe. You did it anyway You walked on up that hill And the sounds of sacrifice are ringing still You knew the magnitude Of the price you'd have to pay But for me, you did it anyway You knew my righteousness Would never be enough It wasn't out of duty, it was out of love. You did it anyway You walked on up that hill And the sounds of sacrifice are ringing still You knew the magnitude Of the price you'd have to pay But for me, you did it anyway You did it anyway... But for me you did it anyway
