What Did He Die For?







He was twenty-one in 1944



He was hope and he was courage on a lonely shore



Sent there by a mother with love beyond her tears



Just a young American who chose to rise above his fears



And as I watch him struggle up that hill



Without a thought of turning back



I cannot help but wonder







What did he die for?



When he died for you and me



Made the sacrifice



So that we could all be free



I believe we will answer each to heaven



For the way we spend a priceless liberty



Look inside and ask the question



What did he die for?



When he died for me







To the darkest day in A.D. 33



Came the mercy and compassion of eternity



Sent there by a Father with love beyond His tears



Blameless One, the only Son



to bear the guilt of all these years



And as I watch Him struggle up that hill



Without a thought of turning back



I cannot help but wonder







What did He die for?



When He died for you and me



Made the sacrifice



So that we could all be free



I believe we will answer each to heaven



For the way we spend a priceless liberty



Look inside and ask the question



What did he die for?







He died for freedom



He died for love



And all the things we do not pay Him back



Could never be enough







What did He die for?



When He died for you and me



Made the sacrifice



So that we could all be free



I believe we will answer each to heaven



For the way we spend a priceless liberty



Look inside and ask the question



What did he die for?



When He died for me
