For the life of me
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
(verse 1)
Was I worth the pain?
You had nothing left to gain
I know I'm the only one to blame
I'm broken on the floor
Staring at the door
Waiting on a Savior to walk in
(chorus)
For the life of me
Why'd You bear my chains?
For the life of me
Why'd You walk to Calvary?
For the life of me
I can't explain
The reason You died
And the reason You came
Was for the life of me
(verse 2)
What do You see in me?
I'm a leper not a king
A mess that's undeserving of Your name
I've disappointed You
Like a rose that never blooms
Failing to display my heart to You
(bridge)
Lord, let me be so bright
I escape every shadow using Your light
Are You waiting to see
That I will show
Your life in me?
(repeat chorus)
For the life of me...
