For the Sake of My Heart
by Gold City

Album: Moment of Truth

If you were the king of a great and mighty kingdom,
Would you give it all away for one like me?
Would you step down from your throne
And all you'd ever known
To walk this earth in mere mortality?
Would you give up all your treasures
Beyond what could be measured
To live a life--a simple, common man?
Would you be born just to die
To save a worthless soul as I,
And shed your precious blood for who I am?

For the sake of my heart, He was willing to go
All the way to an old, rugged Cross
Where He took of my shame
And banished my blame
So that I no longer had to be lost.
There was no reason to die,
But He knew that death would never keep us apart!
And He loved me so much, He chose Calvary
For the sake of my heart!

He couldn't bear the thought of my sins left unforgiven;
His love was far too great to leave me alone.
And as the nails were driven in,
He cried, 'Father, please forgive them!'
He showed the greatest love to me
This world has ever known!

For the sake of my heart, He was willing to go
All the way to an old, rugged Cross
Where He took of my shame,
And banished my blame
So that I no longer had to be lost.

There was no reason to die,
But He knew that death would never keep us apart!
And He loved me so much, He chose Calvary
For the sake of my heart (my heart)!

Yes, He loved me so much, He chose Calvary
For the sake of my heart!

My heart!
