Lyrics:
VERSE 1
For a good man someone might die
But for an enemy Lord why
When I loved only self and sin
You gave Your life to call me friend
CHORUS
Every lash of the whip
Every stroke of the hammer upon
Every nail
Every insult You bore
Every minute You hung
Between heaven and hell
Every thorn in Your crown
Every tear on Your back
Every drop of Your blood
Was for me
Oh it was all for me
For me
Oh it was all for me
VERSE 2
It was for me oh Lord
Such grace unknown
I pour out my love to You
And praise Your holy name
For all the things You’ve done
