He decided to die

Verse
When Jesus hung on Calvary,
people came from miles to see
they said, if you be the Christ,
come down and save your life.
Oh but Jesus, my sweet Jesus,
He never answered them,
for He knew that Satan was tempting Him.
If He had come down from the cross,
then my soul would still be lost.

Chorus
He would not come down
from the cross just to save Himself
He decided to die just to save me.
