It's Up To You

Song I wrote the first weekend in May:

Verse 1:
You’re standing there, watching Him walk the road
Quiet as can be, you wanna speak and let them know
He’s innocent, He has never done wrong
Now you’re watching Him, be hung

Chorus 1:
You can’t change this, it’ll happen, y’know
He’s doing this to save you, if you choose to go
To Him, tell Him you need his forgiveness
You can’t keep going on this way
Just come to Him, He will save you from your sins
He will let you enter in
It’s up to you

Verse 2:
You’re watching him, as He slowly fades away
Crying in the crowd, hoping they will hear you say
“He’s innocent! He has done no wrong!
But we watch Him, be hung.”

Chorus 2:
We can’t change this, it’ll happen, y’know
He’s doing this to save us, if we choose to go
To Him, tell Him we need his forgiveness
We can’t keep going on this way
Just come to Him, He will save us from your sins
He will let us enter in

Three days later, He arose for us to live

We can go to Him and He will forgive

Us all, we can be with Him one day

And He will say

Chorus 3:
“You couldn’t change this, it had to happen, y’see
I did this to save you, if you choose to come
To Me, tell Me you need his forgiveness
That you can’t keep going on this way
Just come to Me, I will save you from your sins
I will let you enter in
But it’s up to you
You have to choose
One way or another, what will you do?
It’s up to you.”

You Thought of Me

This is a song I wrote back in August 2011.

You Thought of Me

Verse 1:
Upon the cross You suffered and You died
You were beaten and abused for my life.
You were just a young man out there
They placed a crown of thorns over Your hair

Chorus:
You thought of me, at the worst time in Your life
You gave it all, nails in Your hands like knives.
You weren’t afraid because I was on Your mind
All so I could live a life like this,
You died.

Verse2:
My sins were washed away because of You
I can’t begin to imagine what others would do.
You cried for Him to forgive us that day
And as I see others live a life not your way
I know

(Chorus)

Bridge:
I wanna see them live Your way
I want to her them say…

You thought of me, at the worst time in Your life
You gave it all, nails in Your hands like knives.
You weren’t afraid because I was on Your mind
All so I could live a life like this,
You live.
