Written on the tenth anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. Compares the sacrifice made by the passengers on flight 93 with the sacrifice Jesus Christ made to pay for our sins on the cross.

You knew destruction was coming
As you rode flight 93.
You gave your lives for others
They another day might see.
Thank-you for your giving
Your lives for others unknown
Your selfless act of giving
Showed love few others have shown.

We sing Your praises today
For your selfless act of giving
You offered your lives that day
That others might go on living

But another gift was given
One day a long time ago
When One took the sins of the world
And died upon that tree.
The sinless Lamb of God
Paid a debt we could not pay.
He took the penalty for all
When he bore the cross that.

We sing Your praises today
For your selfless act of giving
You offered your life that day
That others might go on living.

Friend, the gift Christ gave that day
Was given for you as well.
Our sinfulness put Him there
That we might heaven share.
Won’t you turn to Christ today
And put your sinful ways away.
He died for you as well
To save you from endless Hell.

We sing His praises today
For His selfless act of giving
You offered His life that day
That others might go on living
