What It Takes to Be a Savior
by Jody McBrayer

Album: Keep Breathing

Trade away your golden street
for a dusty road
exchange your royalty
to wear a sinner's crown

Leave your palace and your throne
for a cross that's not your own
let shame replace the mercy you pour out

That's what it takes to be a Savior
that's what it takes to be a king
what it means to sacrifice
to redeem and change your life

that's what it takes
that's what it takes,
to be a savior

Oo-oo-oo
oh-e-oh-oh

Take the nails and love the ones with hammers in their hands
hear the shouts of those who only mock your name
feel the sudden sting of Death
as you draw your final breath
to cry out to a God who's turned away

That's what it takes to be a savior
that's what it takes to be a king
what it means to sacrifice
to redeem and change your life

that's what it takes
that's what it takes,

Oh feel deception's kiss upon your face
the agony within as your heart breaks
as your eyes dim
just let life fade away

Then prove that You were God
And walk out of your grave

That's what it takes to be a savior
that's what it takes

Chorus:
to be a savior
that's what it takes

To be a king

Chorus:
to be a king

Oh what it means to sacrifice
to redeem and change your life
that's what it takes
that's what it takes

that's what it takes

to be a savior

That's what it takes to be a king

Oh what it means to sacrifice
to redeem and change your life
that's what it takes
that's what it takes

To be a savior

Ooh, to be
the savior
