You Thought of Us
by The Ruppes

Album: Free

The look on Judas' face
The torches set ablaze
The weapons drawn and raised
The chill of night
The friends who fled in fear
The sound of Peter's tear
The way the people cheered
"Crucify!"

A nightmare coming true
Before your eyes
What was it that was going
Through your mind?

You thought of us
Every one of us
And all Your love for us
Caused You to stay
You could have spared Your life
And still had paradise
But even when the pain
We put You through
Became too much
You thought of us

The hands that stripped You bare
The eyes that mocked and stared
The laughter everywhere
Each strike they made
The needles running red
The nails, the fight for breath
The gaping door of death
The awful taste

You raged against the silence
In the sky
But when You asked for God
To tell You why

You thought of us
Every one of us
And all Your love for us
Caused You to stay
You could have spared Your life
And still had paradise
But even when the pain
We put You through
Became too much
You thought of us

And on that Sunday bright
So full of love and life
With angels left and right
To take You home
First, You had to find someone
To share the joy in You
And who on earth should be the first
To hear the news?

You thought of us
Every one of us
And all Your love for us
Caused You to stay
We were the very ones
Who turned away Your love
But even when the pain
We put You through
Became too much
You thought of us
You thought of us
