For Me
Oh Lord forgive me
You have done so much for me
You shed your blood and died for me
Why couldn’t I see your love for me?
For me you carry your cross
For me you bear it all
For me you hung there and died
For me you were caught up in the sky
What a price you paid for me
Spat upon and beaten
Falling and bleeding in the streets
Soldier gambling and speaking insults at your feet
When you where thirsty they gave you something bitter
To drink, Lord you tolerate it all for me
For me you were betrayed
For me you defeated death and the grave
For me you rose again
For me you will come back again.
