I was on a plane home from Seattle this week and this song came on my iPod and I just love it. I hope you’ll enjoy it to.
This Beautiful Republic
Was I worth the pain, you had nothing left to gain
I know I’m the only one to blame
I’m broken on the floor staring at the door
Waiting on a Savior to walk in
For the Life of me, why’d you bear my chains?
For the Life of me, why’d you walk to calvary?
For the life of me, I can’t explain
The reason you died and the reason you came
…was for the life of me
What do you see in me? I’m a leper not a king
A mess that’s undeserving of your name
I’ve disappointed you, like a rose that never blooms
Failing to display my heart to you
For the Life of me, why’d you bear my chains?
For the Life of me, why’d you walk to calvary?
For the life of me, I can’t explain
The reason you died and the reason you came
…was for the life of me
Lord, let me be so bright
I escape every shadow using your light
Are you waiting to see
That I will show your life in me
Why’d you bear my chains?
For the life of me why’d you walk to calvary?
For the life of me, I can’t explain
The reason you died and the reason you came
Was for the life of me
You bore my chains
For the life of me, you walked to calvary
For the life of me, I can’t explain
The reason you died and the reason you came
Was for the life of me
For the life of me…
