Knowing what the truth was worth, any other man on earth would have run away, but he knelt to pray. When Judas kissed him on his cheek, he said, I am the one you seek, let the others go, because you love them so. He could have fooled him easily, but he went with them peacefully. Oh, why didn't he lie? Oh, why did he have to die? Oh, why didn't he save his own self? I'll tell you why, he loved you and I. He stood before the highest priest, knowing he could be released if he just denied that he was the Christ. When they asked him once again, are you the Christ? He said, I am God's only Son, knowing what would come. When they heard how he replied, he said he should be crucified. Oh, why didn't he lie? Oh, why did he have to die? Oh, why didn't he save his own self? I'll tell you why, he loved you and I. I'll tell you why, he loved you and I.
