New this week on KJIL, and perfect for Holy Week, it's Andrew Ripp's "I'd Do It Again!"
LYRICS:
I still remember the bread and the wine Knowin' that I'd soon give up My life The ache of betrayal, the kiss of a friend Child, if I had to, I'd do it again
I still remember the sting of the thorns Weight of the cross that My shoulders bore The sound of the nails when they pierced through My skin And, child, if I had to, I'd do it again
'Cause there's no distance too far No pain too great There's no grave too dark No hell I won't face The proof that it's finished Is here in My hands I know I don't have to, child But, oh, for you, I'd do it again
Oh, I still remember the spear in My side And the last thing I said before I died And, "Father, forgive them, " as I took on their sin And, child, if I had to, I'd do it again
'Cause there's no distance too far No pain too great There's no grave too dark No hell I won't face The proof that it's finished Is here in My hands I know I don't have to, child But, oh, for you, I'd do it again
And again, and again I'd do it again, and again, and again Want you to know-oh-oh I love you that much, I love you that much Want you to know-oh-oh-oh-oh
I still remember that very first breath While the rest of the world still thought I was dead The weight of the stone and the light that poured in Death is defeated forever, amen
