For What Earthly Reason
Dottie Rambo. New Kingdom Music/ASCAP

Vs 1
For what earthly reason would the Heavenly Father send down His Son
To suffer rejection and pay for crimes He had not done
For what earthly reason would the Father let Him hang on a tree
I wept with the answer, that one earthly reason was me

Chorus
I was the reason, that one earthly reason
I was the guilty, He was the sacrifice
I was the taker, He was the giver
Dying while I go free, that one earthly reason was me

Vs 2
The fairest of angels were not summoned from the throne up in the sky
To purchase my pardon, not even the angels could die
The only provision for my freedom was destined to be
The sweet Lamb of Glory and His only reason was me

Tag
That one earthly reason, His only reason was me
