Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
Now that you've heard the music
Where do you go from here
You see music only takes you to the place
Where you're ready to hear
We could sing and tell you we love you
And you could say it wasn't true
But how can you say that about a man
Who died for you
[Chorus]
Jesus is holding out His love to you
But He made it so that you have to choose
How can you walk away empty again
When you know that you've got nothing to lose
You could probably think of a reason
To wait until another day
But the spirit is speaking, telling you
Today is the day
Jesus gave His life as a ransom
Was crucified and laid in a grave
But He rose again and made a new way
For man to be saved
[Repeat Chorus]
