I was the reason

New York camp
Stewart Family
For what earthly reason
Songwriter: Joyce Reba Rambo
Aka as Dottie Rambo
*Verse 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
*Verse 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
Repeat Chorus
*Tag
I WAS THE TAKER, HE WAS THE GIVER
DYING WHILE I GO FREE
THAT ONE EARTHLY REASON, HIS ONLY REASON
THAT ONE EARTHLY REASON WAS ME
