Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Don't think for a moment I never felt the pain
You can't imagine the hurt and the shame
They put the nails through my hands
Pierced my side please understand
It wasn't easy but it was worth it

[Chorus]
It wasn't easy, it wasn't easy
It wasn't easy but it was worth it
It wasn't easy, it wasn't easy
It wasn't easy but it was worth it

[Verse 2]
I didn't have to do it but I did it anyway
'Cause I really love you, so much I took your place
I died for your sins, yes, I'm the One
Don't take it lightly what I've done
It wasn't easy but it was worth it

[Chorus]
Oh, it wasn't easy, it wasn't easy
It wasn't easy but it was worth it
It wasn't easy, it wasn't easy
It wasn't easy but it was worth it

[Bridge]
I left my throne, my purpose was the cross
Shed innocent blood, I paid the cost
It wasn't

[Outro]
But it was worth it
It was worth it
No, it wasn't easy
No, it wasn't easy
But it was worth it
