Time For Him

A night like any other, the stars, the sky, the wind A Shepard and his twelve sat in a field Only staffs and robes as a shield A wince and a sigh, it was time for Him to die, a wince and a sigh, it was time It was time for Him to die ohhhh I can only imagine the pain, and I don't want to think of the strain The weight of the world crushing down, knees bent and pressed to the ground Begging Father at last to let that bitter cup pass And he bled A wince and a sigh, it was time for Him to die, a wince and a sigh, it was time, for Him to die ohhhh When I say my life's been tough, and I've had closed doors, I think of the Savior bleeding From all of his pores, so when I complain, I feel my own strain, because I know I have Never felt His kind of pain ohhh A wince and a sigh In the deep of night, a wince and a sigh He bore the weight of the world, I can't deny There on the cross, with love in His eyes He took my sin upon Himself, our sacrifice (oh) A wince and a sigh, it was time for Him to die He gave His life so we could be free Redemption's cry, echoed through the skies With a wince and a sigh It was His time to die
