I'm Doing This For You Lyrics - Singles - Brian Free

I stood there as they tried Him for crimes He hadn't done 

No one else believe it, but I just knew He was the one 

I slid back into the crowd, trying to go unseen 

But when Pilot cried out, "Beat him", He pointed straight to me 

My friends, they all cheered me as I took the whip in hand 

Placing stripes upon the back of this guiltless Man 

The way He turned and looked at me from my mind I can't erase 

And I'll never forget the look on His face 

He said, "I'm doing this for you 

And I will still love you when you're through 

I'm doing this for you" 

Though it took me by surprise when I saw love in His eyes 

He said, "I'm doing this for you" 

High atop Mount Calvary, with hammer and nail 

It became my duty to crucify this Man 

I heard my friends gambling for His robe at my side 

I couldn't turn away as He looked into my eyes 

"Father forgive them", I heard Him cry aloud 

"Behold the King of kings", someone mocked from the crowd 

Then the ground shook and the thunder rolled 

As He gave up the ghost 

But until the day I die, the thing that I'll remember most 

He said, "I'm doing this for you 

And I will still love you when you're through 

I'm doing this for you" 

Though it took me by surprise when I saw love in His eyes 

He said, "I'm doing this for you" 

The sacrifice that day at Calvary 

Was the Father's perfect plan to set man free 

He said, "I'm doing this for you 

And I will still love you when you're through 

I'm doing this for you" 

Though it took me by surprise when I saw love in His eyes 

He said, "I'm doing this for you, for you"
