Had the choice
Oh, to set us free
And He broke through the darkness
And came with a passion
Gave up the Heavens
To take up the fight
He poured out His heart
Hung on a cross
And then gave up his life."

~Just to know You... fought for me~
~Oh really know You...set me free~
~Just to know You...died for love~
~Oh really know You...God above~
"Oh and I
Have a choice
And the choice for me
Is to live life like a man
Who will love with abandon
Follow the promise
And pay any price
I'll give all I can
Just to stand in Your glory
And long for the day
Oh to look in Your eyes
(Repeat Chorus)
I want to live
I want to love
I want to finsh strong
I want to run
Into Your arms
And say I gave it all."
