lyrics

while we were fishermen you called us friends
come follow me you said and we left our nets
an easy yoke and a burden kind
I'll take your weight and you take mine
and we will carry it out to the end

I know who you are but who am I
that I should live and you instead should die
demons fear you and angels sing your name
yet you came down to eat from the sinner's plate

there is no greater love than this
that a man lay his life down for his friends
and though they deny him
he pours himself out beside them
(and even those who scorned him)
(he pours himself out before them)

if you should wash my feet Lord wash all of me
and if you should walk on water call out to me
my heart is bold but my faith is weak
I may be taken under by the unknown sea
but I will carry it out to the end

behold the breath of all mankind
offers up his life
all for our sake he died
all for our sake crucified
