Strange Way to Save the World

(To the tune of 4Him's "Strange Way to Save the World")

I'm sure they must have been surprised
At where this road had taken them
Cause never in a million years
Would they have dreamed of Jerusalem

But standing at Golgatha
They saw with their own eyes
The message that He taught them
Come to life
The disciples said

Why us, we were just simple men of trade
Why Him, this holy man beyond compare
Why here, atop this pile of great decay
Why now, before His message could be shared

Now we're not ones to second guess
What Jesus had to say
But this is such a strange way
To save the world

She thought of how it could have been
If Jesus had ruled as he deserved
There would have been no wooden cross
No angry crowds, no vicious words

But Mary knew the reason
Love had to reach so far
And as she held
The Savior in her arms
She must have thought

Why me, I'm just an ordinary girl
Why Him, my beloved firstborn son
Why here, atop this smelly pile of dirt
Why now, it's like his life has just begun

Now I'm not one to second guess
What our son had to say
But this is such a strange way
To save the world
