Wanda Jackson - For No Earthly Reason

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

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

The fairest of angels were not summoned
From His 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

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
Dying while I go free
That one earthly reason was me
