For Me
Youth America Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

For me, you came
For me, you died
Took on the wrath of the father
Brought me to life when you broke the grave

For me, you bled
For me, you cried
Took up the weight of my sins
Found my life complete in You

Now here I am
Under your love
Jesus, You opened your arms to me

For me, you walked
For me, you gave
Perfectly lived before me
Gave me this hope when you overcame

Now here I am
Under your love
Jesus, You opened your arms to me

The thought of me, Jesus I love you
With open arms, I surrender





Nothing separates us, nothing is above You, Lord
You seat me in the highest place with You forever

As a fan of hers since the Voice, I don’t know why this young lady hasn’t hit it big yet. She’s got a great voice.

@Maverick74 I agree and must say the studio that is working with her seems to think she has to take off all her clothes to get someone to listen to her....geez I hate to see them make her change from the natural beauty she is inside and out. I see them taking her away and not letting her shine like she can. My hope is that she finds a better company that can get her back to the basics we all loved. Don't get me wrong she is great now I just think they have so many other things to get an audience with. Oh, I was watching her when she won the Voice. Congrats Danielle and don't let them change you girl!!!!

@sonofizzy totally agree friend zone got so much negativity in my opinion was the same kick butt song like before he cheats.. it was all country

sonofizzy

@Maverick74 To me, "Young in America" and "Friend Zone" should have done it already. :)

sonofizzy

@Maverick74 I believe that she is 23 or 24, but my response is from your mouth to God's ear! She is magnificent!

Maverick74

I think management is to blame with her slow progress but make no mistake she will be a huge star,, when she arrived in country music you had tons of massive girl stars that were peaking during that time now that Carrie, Miranda and Taylor is on the downward of their career I think Danielle is one hit away from really launching herself,, she’s like what 22? Oh yeah she’s about to pop off
