You Died For Me

You died for me

when I didn’t deserve it

You set me free

and now the world I won’t serve it.

Eternally,

to you I will be true

You died for me.

Now help me live for You

 

I want to take your light and shine it all around.

There is no one undeserving of your grace.

I want to tell the world about the love I found.

There is nothing that could ever take your place.

In my heart,

In my soul,

You’re a part of me

and I give you control.

Of my heart

of my soul

You’re a part of me

and I give you control.

 

You died for me

when I didn’t deserve it

You set me free

and now the world I won’t serve it.

Eternally,

to you I will be true

You died for me.

Now help me live for You.

 

I want to take Your word to every tongue and race.

So that every knee shall bow and tongue confess

Jesus is Lord Ruler of this place.

Help me emanate Your love and forgiveness

In my heart,

In my soul,

You’re a part of me

and I give you control.

Of my heart

of my soul

You’re a part of me

and I give you control.

 

You died for me

when I didn’t deserve it

You set me free

and now the world I won’t serve it.

Eternally,

to you I will be true

You died for me.

Now help me live for You.

Wow! Excellent work, a testimony of faith and so beautifully written. I kept wanting to say "Amen" every other line or so. This one is going into my Favorites.

So far I haven't been able to work out Yahweh's logic - how did Jesus's death save us all? If his dad (your God) was in control, there was no need to kill him, right?
The rhyming works well to carry the sentiment.
Nice work in terms of the technical aspects, but I'm an atheist so don't have much else to say.

Excellent rhythm! I'm usually not a big fan of rhyming poems, but this is very good! :D It's also nice to find that someone is driven whether by religion or not. I admire you for your dedication.

I can tell you really put your heart into this and want everyone to know the love you have. A beautiful invitation for all to enjoy the gifts freely offered. An incredible prayer so very well written.

[Legion]

Great testament. You wrote it well. When you get a chance, check out my piece "Martyr: Carrying the Cross".

[George Love]

Very emotional, very inspiring and truthful. Excellent work! This should be hanging on a curch wall somewhere!
