Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

For me you came and died
For you now I'm to live
dead upon the cross and now I'm free
and I want nothing more than just to be with you
Closer to you, Jesus you make me feel so new
and I can't live without you, anymore

I'm living for you

and the world will know your truth
I'm gonna shine your light in the darkest place
And I'll go for you
nothing will stand in my way
teach me God, your Holy way

I'm living for You
And I'll live for you
