LOVER OF MY SOUL

(Verse 1, the Centurion)

I'm the one,
I drove the nails,
That tore into His flesh.
I'd cursed at Him
And mocked His name,
And caused Him so much pain.
Yet in all of His agony,
He looked on me in love.

(Chorus, the Centurion)

So, how could I not choose Him?
How could I refuse,
To love the one still loving me
In spite of all I've done?
So, how could I not choose Him?
Oh, how could I refuse,
How could I refuse to love
The Lover of my soul?

(Verse 2, Mary Magdalene)

I was there,
I saw Him bleed,
And I heard His cry for help.
All my life
Was spent on me,
Yet it left me bound in chains.
Yet in all of His suffering,
He somehow knew my need.

(Chorus, Mary Magdalene)

So, how could I not choose Him?
How could I refuse,
To love the one still loving me
In spite of all I've done?
So, how could I not choose Him?
Oh, how could I refuse,
How could I refuse to love
The Lover of my soul?

(Chorus, Duet)

How could I not choose Him?
Oh, how could I refuse,
To love the one still loving me
In spite of all I've done?
So, how could I not choose Him?
Oh, how could I refuse,
How could I refuse to love
The Lover of my soul?

(Chorus, Duet and Ending)

How could I not choose Him?
Oh, how could I refuse,
To love the one still loving me
In spite of all I've done?
So, how could I not choose Him?
Oh, how could I refuse,
How could I refuse to love,
How could I refuse to love,
How could I refuse to love
The Lover of my soul?
