I'd Do It Again

Andrew Ripp

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

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
