One man sits silently in prayer
Pleading to his father not to send him there
In hope his father has a listening ear
He sits and prays that he take this burden away
His father replies son. You must do this right
You must do this to save many a life
Obediently he gathers heart
Knowing this would be his final hour
That he face death to save a world
Knowing he had done no wrong he accepted wearily to honor his word
Soon it would be his very last breath
As Jesus hangs on a cross and dies
Not looking back
To save you and I out of love for his father and all mankind alike
Saying it is finished he hangs his head in pain one last breath to claim his very name
All this to save you and I
The hope he gave us all
Knowing that though we’re broken
Christ has cleaned us all
Erasing charge for all the wrongs and sins we’ve done
Giving us salvation
A light of hope as we’re promised new life
Everlasting and forever with him
So now that one man who sat on that hill and prayed is now us
Thanking him for his finest gift and hanging on in faith
We now sit in silence and quietly sit and pray
Praying to our father in heaven
Who’s only an ear away
