"Ten Thousand Angels" lyrics

Ten Thousand Angels

He could have caught
Ten thousand angels

They bound the hands of Jesus
In the garden where He pray
They led him through the streets
In shame

They spat upon the Savior
So pure and free from sin
They said crucify Him
He's to blame

He could have called
Ten thousand angels
To destroy the world
And set Him free

He could have called
Ten thousand angels
But he died alone
For you and me

Upon His precious head
They placed a crown of thorns
They laughed and said
"Behold the king"

They struck Him and they cursed Him
And mocked His holy name
And all alone
He suffered everything

He could have called
Ten thousand angels
To destroy the world
And set Him free

He could have called
Ten thousand angels
But he died alone
For you and me
