For me
Zacardi Cortez feat. Kierra Kiki Sheard Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To give a life for a life, the greatest sacrifice
You did it all for me, for me
To know some would say they love you
But soon betray you, still your love is all they see
Bridge:
How can I complain at all you′re so faithful
I could never tell it all, but I′m so faithful
Sacrificed it all for men, knowing that we would fall
So at the very least, all of who I am is what I give to you
Chorus:
There I was, lost at night
I couldn't see a thing at all but still you knew just what I needed
I found myself drawn to God
But still I could never repay you; God your love is so amazing
Verse 2:
I know what I deserve, but could never find the words
To make it perfectly clear, yeah
All my sins were placed upon you, the pain you went through
You affirmed your love for me
Repeat Chorus
Bridge 2:
All of my thoughts
All the sacrifices you made, it was for me
You didn't have to do it but you loved me
That′s why I′ll always sing of His glory
It's incredible you did it for me
Bridge 2:
He did; did it for me, He did
He, he did; did it for me He did
Verse 3:
That I′m gonna say this because I feel good
Or everything is going well but I clearly see
That all the loved you showed me was someone else who's just like me
So I will take every story I have
And use it so someone can run and ask
God I′m willing, cause when I see my brother, all I see is me
Repeat Chorus 2x
Repeat Bridge 2
