You may be down, you may be out

With nothing to be glad about

But you can stand right up and shout

'Cause Jesus died for you



You may think that you can't cope

You may be drunk or hooked on dope

Believe me brother, you've still got hope

'Cause Jesus died for you



Maybe you ain't got a dime

You're standing in the welfare line

Or maybe you're in prison doin' your time

But Jesus died for you



Satan may have you in retreat

But you won't go down in defeat

'Cause you can sittin' in the mercy seat

'Cause Jesus died for you



He died for you, to complete salvation's plan

He died for you, He's got nail scars in His hands

He bore the cross, to sanctify the lost

All you've got to do is believe it

Get down on your knees and receive it



You may think you're too far gone

You've sinned so bad you can't atone

But bow your head and come on home

'Cause Jesus died for you



This old world keeps falling apart

But you don't have to let it break your heart

You can make a brand new start

'Cause Jesus died for you



Now Satan is a mighty foe

But just stand firm because you know

You've got a better place to go

'Cause Jesus died for you



When there's trouble in the wind

Or when you face the bitter end

You can start all over again

'Cause Jesus died for you



You can face death with a smile

Laugh at all your troubles and trials

Never have to walk another lonely mile

Jesus died for you



He died for you, to break the Devil's hold

He died for you, to redeem your mortal soul

Don't be afraid, 'cause you debt has done been paid

You just come and do your best

The Holy Spirit's gonna do the rest



He died for you, to complete salvation's plan

He died for you, He's got nail scars in His hands

He bore the cross, to sanctify the lost

All you've got to do is believe it

Get down on your knees and receive it



Makes no difference how wrong you've been

How heavy is your load of sin

The door's still open come on in

'Cause Jesus died for you



Now you may think you're too far gone

You've sinned so bad you can't atone

Bow your head and come on home

'Cause Jesus died for you



Jesus died for you

Jesus died for you
