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

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

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

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?




Behind the Song:
“For the Life of Me” was among those songs that really made the record’s theme stand out clearly. It talks about how God’s perception of us is utterly opposite of what ours should be. We are filthy and sinful, and we simply cannot grasp why a perfect God would send a perfect Son to take our place in the line of death. Why would a man suffer a greater torture than any man in history just to save us? It’s incomprehensible and proves that His love for us is greater than we could ever imagine.” – Ben Olin (This Beautiful Republic)
