Lyrics:What were you thinking as your trust was betrayed?
"Theyre tying my hands
While my friends run away?"
Armies of angels wouldve answered your call.
And you didnt struggle at all.
What were you thinking when they spit in your face?
"Ill get even with them,
And the whole human race?"
They crowned you with thorns, though you are more than a king.
And you didnt say anything.
What were you thinking? A person could ask.
Were you out of your mind to agree?
What were you thinking, to stand in between
An angry Father and me?
What were you thinking as you hung on the tree?
"A curse on them all
For laughing at me?"
Of all of these things your thoughts were perfectly free.
And you purchased heaven for me.
What were you thinking? A person could ask.
Were you out of your mind to agree?
What were you thinking, to stand in between
An angry Father and me?
What were you thinking as you hung on the tree?
"A curse on them all
For laughing at me?"
Armies of angels wouldve answered your call.
You didnt struggle at all.
You said, "Father, forgive them all."
And you purchased heaven for us all.
