Net vir My
Nicholis Louw Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Swaar moes U heeldag dra
Aan U 'n kruis gegee
U't nooit gekla of vra
Wat sal verligting gee

Die doringkroon gedra
Die skare tart en skree
Verdra dit tree vir tree
Gekreun en meegegee

Steeds moes U verder dra
Niemand het omgegee
U't hul vergewe ja
Al het U niks oortree

Sou hul die vrees gewaar
Toe spykers deur U breek
Die plek is Golgota
Waar U die laaste woorde skree

Ek loof U naam O Heer
Die lyding en die seer
Wat U moes deurmaak
Vir my

Ek buig nou voor U neer
En bring U alle eer
Want U het gesterf
Net vir my

U het weer opgestaan
U het die dood oorwin
Na die Hemel opgevaar
Waar Engelkore sing

Die lyding is verby
U het my plek berei
Om vir altyd te bly
Daar is 'n plek langs U vir my

Ek loof U naam O Heer
Die lyding en die seer
Wat U moes deurmaak
Vir my

Ek buig nou voor U neer
En bring U alle eer
Want U het gesterf
Net vir my

Ek loof U naam O Heer
Die lyding en die seer
Wat U moes deurmaak
Vir my

Ek buig nou voor U neer
En bring U alle eer




Want U het gesterf
Net vir my

His selfless act on the cross has allowed us to be forgiven of our sins and to have a place by his side in heaven.


The chorus of the song speaks to the ultimate triumph of Jesus over death and sin.

Line by Line Meaning

Swaar moes U heeldag dra
You had to bear weight all day


Aan U 'n kruis gegee
Given to you on a cross


U't nooit gekla of vra
You never complained or asked


Wat sal verligting gee
What would bring relief


Die doringkroon gedra
Wearing the crown of thorns


Die skare tart en skree
The crowd taunts and shouts


Verdra dit tree vir tree
Endure it step by step


Gekreun en meegegee
Groaning and yielding


Steeds moes U verder dra
You still had to keep going


Niemand het omgegee
No one cared


U't hul vergewe ja
You forgave them, yes


Al het U niks oortree
Even though you did nothing wrong


Sou hul die vrees gewaar
Would they feel the fear


Toe spykers deur U breek
As the nails pierced through you


Die plek is Golgota
The place is Golgotha


Waar U die laaste woorde skree
Where you uttered your last words


Ek loof U naam O Heer
I praise your name, O Lord


Die lyding en die seer
The suffering and the pain


Wat U moes deurmaak
That you had to go through


Vir my
For me


Ek buig nou voor U neer
I now bow before you


En bring U alle eer
And give you all the honor


Want U het gesterf
For you died


Net vir my
Just for me


U het weer opgestaan
You rose again


U het die dood oorwin
You conquered death


Na die Hemel opgevaar
Ascended to heaven


Waar Engelkore sing
Where the angelic choir sings


Die lyding is verby
The suffering is over


U het my plek berei
You have prepared a place for me


Om vir altyd te bly
To stay forever


Daar is 'n plek langs U vir my
There is a place next to you for me
