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?
[Chorus]
For the sake of my heart He was willing to go
all the way to an old rugged cross.
Where He took on 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 my sins left unforgiven.
His love was far too great to leave my 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.
CHORUS
Yes He loved me so much, He chose Calvary
for the sake of my heart, my heart.
