Because Somebody Shed His Blood for ME
Because Somebody shed His blood for me that's the reason why
I sing songs in adoration to Him as I bow my knees and cry.
My Savior, Jesus Christ, has done more for me than I understand.
He's healed my family, kept us safe and involved me in His glorious plan.
My Redeemer, my Friend who looks past all of my mistakes,
gives me a life of beauty and good pleasure though evil abounds and takes.
For this lost, misguided hater of the Cross He most certainly did die.
He was beat, He was tortured, He gave His life so in Hell I don't have to sigh.
And even today though I've been a Christian for oh so many years,
He forgives me for my willingness to sin when I ignore His Crucifixion tears.
Because my Savior shed His blood for me I don't care what anybody thinks.
I live my life in a peculiar way without ties to any of Satan's links.
I enjoy serving the LORD and I will remain obedient to His will.
Though others don't understand or agree, my focus on Him will remain still.
He is faithful to me, tender, abundant loving, wise and true.
Though trails reside and storms abide, He shows me, "I"m here with you."
In recognition of Calvary's purpose, my life has turned and changed.
Because Somebody shed His blood for me I keep my eyes on Heaven's range.
He shed His blood for you as well and hopefully we will be
all that He intended us to with joy and peace eternally.
