He Chose to Stay Lyrics

(Benj)
Calvary is not just a story we've been taught.
Its a place in time in history, where salvation was bought.
The perfect gift was purchased with a price we could never pay.
There was nothing we could do, so Jesus made the way..
(Benj)
What a day that must have been, for the savior without sin.
To hear the cries of the crowd, scream crucify so loud.
Pilot gave them their man, God the father had a plan.
So Barabas was set free, Jesus stayed there for You and Me..
Chorus:
Ten thousand angels were ready to come to earth
With one word from Jesus we wouldn't have a second birth.
Doing the fathers will, he climbed up on the hill..
Where two had to be there one chose to stay...

Chorus:
Ten thousand angels were ready to come to earth
With one word from Jesus we wouldn't have a second birth.
Doing the fathers will, he climbed up on the hill..
Where two had to be there one chose to stay...
Doing the Fathers will, he climbed up on the hill..
Were two had to be there JESUS chose to stay...
HE CHOSE TO STAY!!!!
