lyrics to my latest

This song is currently untitled, it could possibly be 'Died for Me' - but I don't want to give too much away in the title...written August 2009 I'd say...


My life, it ain't perfect
I've just found another way
'Cause my heart has been changed
My eyes are open to a new day


It's 'cause of that Someone
Whose greater than us
A story of love, of heartache
Of faith, grace and trust


He hung on that cross for all to see
Weeping and in pain
The Son of God
Broken and battered by man
How could He die for me?


Sometimes I'll wonder
How much it really cost
For that Man, my Saviour
What about all the things that He lost?


But it was God's plan, so He carried that cross
A martyr for our sin
And still He cried out to His Father
"Forgive them, they don't know what they're doing"


When He hung on that cross for all to see
Weeping and in pain
The Son of God
Beaten and mocked by man
Why would He die for me?


When I don't act with love
And compassion's not in my heart
I don't deserve
A gift of grace I can't seem to give


But He hung on that cross
He took my place
Bleeding for my shame
The Son of God
Ignored and forgotten by man
How could He die for me?


For me? A sinner like me?


But still You died for me
