On His Mind

(album: The Word - 1984)

Up Calvary, He carried the tree
And He would die upon
Where willingly He'd hang helplessly
'Til every breath was gone
But never a question or a doubt
Walked the perfect Lamb
What could He be thinking of
Laying His life down?

I believe when Jesus died
He had me on His mind
I believe He thought of me
As He gave His life for mine
Yes, even though I know it was
Another place, another place
I believe when Jesus died
He had me on His mind

Finally on Calvary
All God, all man
With victory just a death away
He stretched out His hands
And hanging there they said, "come down"
But His mind and heart were set
Driven by a perfect love
This world can't forget

I believe when Jesus died
He had me on His mind
I believe He thought of me
As He gave His life for mine
Yes, even though I know it was
Another place, another place
I believe when Jesus died
He had me on His mind

Oh, tomorrow doomed
And certain gloom
They left Him for dead
If only they had understood
The words of life He said

I believe when Jesus comes
He'll have me on His mind
Yes, I believe He'll point to me
And say He's a child of mine
Yes, even though no one knows
A place, or another place
I believe when Jesus comes
He'll have me on His mind
