Imagine what the Savior saw when He died on Calvary
I wonder if the faces there resembled you and me
And why He freely gave His life to give us life anew
I suppose He must have had another point of view
Things looked different from the cross
Through the tears and blood, He must have seen
Someone He dearly loved
Somehow, He saw a dying world
In the angry crowd that He heard cry "crucify!"
Well, I don't know what He saw
That was worth all He lost
Well, I guess things looked different from the cross
He could have called for angels
He could have freed Himself
But as He hung there dying, He thought of someone else
He saw the need within my heart
A heart that He had made
And knew that only through His blood
Could my lost soul be saved
Things looked different from the cross
Through the tears and blood, He must have seen
Someone He dearly loved
Somehow, He saw a dying world
In the angry crowd that He heard cry "crucify!"
Well, I don't know what He saw
That was worth all He lost
Well, I guess things looked different from the cross
Somehow, He saw a dying world
In the angry crowd that He heard cry "crucify!"
Well, I don't know what He saw
That was worth all He lost
Well, I guess things looked different from the cross
Well, I guess things looked different
Somehow, they looked different
Well, I guess things looked different from the cross
From the cross
