Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Don't think for a moment I never felt the pain
You can't imagine the hurt and the shame
They put the nails through my hands
Pierced my side, please understand
It wasn't easy
But it was worth it
[Verse 2]
It wasn't easy
It wasn't easy
It wasn't easy
But it was worth it
[Verse 3]
It wasn't easy
It wasn't easy
It wasn't easy
But it was worth it
[Verse 4]
I didn't have to do it
But I did it anyway
'Cause I really love you
So much, I took your place
I died for your sins, yes, I'm the one
Don't take it lightly what I've done
It wasn't easy
But it was worth it
[Verse 5]
Oh, it wasn't easy
It wasn't easy
It wasn't easy
But it was worth it
[Verse 6]
It wasn't easy
It wasn't easy
It wasn't easy
But it was worth it
[Verse 7]
I left my throne, my purpose was the cross
Shed innocent blood, I paid a cost
[Verse 8]
It was worth it
It wasn't easy
It wasn't easy
It wasn't easy
But it was worth it (But it was worth it)
[Verse 9]
It wasn't easy
It wasn't easy
It wasn't easy
But it was worth it
[Verse 10]
Yeah
It wasn't easy (It wasn't easy)
(No, no, no, no, no, no)
It wasn't easy
It wasn't easy (But it was worth it)
But it was worth it (It was worth it, it was worth it)
[Verse 11]
(It was worth it)
It wasn't easy (Yes it was)
It wasn't easy
It wasn't easy
But it was worth it
It was worth it
[Verse 12]
No, it wasn't easy
No, it wasn't easy
But it was worth it
Ooh
