Broken Cedars Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Do just what you did, just to have me be with You
And why,
God for me You cry
And grieve over my sin and love me just to death with You
And Papa now i see
That all You want to do is just love me
What You say
Jesus, You're my everything,
I can't go on without Your love and
God, You are the best to me
And help just to trust in You and
God, You to the cross for me,
To pay a debt i never could You
Bought me back and set me free
I want to live my life for You
So when i'm feeling down
And it feels like You're not around
You said that you would never leave me on my own and God
I can't thank You enough,
You gave me eternal life
And help me to remember that all i need is You
And Papa now i see
That all You want to do is just love me
And God help me to do,
What You say
Jesus, You're my everything,
I can't go on without Your love and
God, You are the best to me
And help just to trust in You and
God, You to the cross for me,
To pay a debt i never could You
Bought me back and set me free
I want to live my life for You
