Because He Died – v2

Thinking of their sacrifice
those who fought and died
Honored on this day more than most
forgotten more of the time

Needing to pause
to stop our day to day
To remember the cost they paid
on this our Memorial Day

And yet the freedoms they won
all things of this earth
The Savior paid the ultimate cost
for even greater worth

Choosing to be a servant
going to the cross as the lamb
Climbing the altar to sacrifice
restoring Man to God

Because He died, we live again
freed from sin and death
Joining the heroes we remember
on every day of the year
