No One's Ever Died For Me Before - John Elefante

Kneeling in the darkness trying hard to pray

But the words don’t come out easy

It’s been a long and trying day

I’m reaching out my heart to you

I’m reaching out my hand and I ask you

Lord, Reveal to me what I don’t understand

Why the world that You created

Would turn it’s back on You

And the children that You love would run away

In a land of broken promises

You are my only Friend

So take this heart of a broken man

And help him live again

Until I looked into my Father’s eyes

No one’s ever cried for me before

I thought I knew love 'til You came along

No one’s ever died for me before

My heart was like a candle blowing in the wind

And my soul was like a refugee

That You laid at a sin

In You I am made innocent

Like a child I run to You

Just waiting for Your guiding hand

To lead me to the truth

And I know the tears You cried for me

Like a father for his son

Represent the years You waited

As they fall one by one

All the shadows cast upon my life

Are truly dead and gone

You took this heart of a broken man and

You made it live again

I’m never gonna look back again

My love for You will never end

You took this heart of a broken man

And made it live again
