When I hear the word crucify
I can’t help but ask why
Did my loving savior have to die
I ask myself am I living a lie
You’ve paid the price for all my sin
I’m trying to stop but I’ll do it again
My sin is washed away by your blood
You have washed me, cleansed me from the mud
The world tries to feed us all these lies to cover up all the times we’ve lied
But our old selves have already been crucified
Upon the cross you paid the price
To cover my sins as many as grains of rice
I need to realize what you’ve done
I want you to tell me the battle has already been won
Living for you is not easy but I don’t have to die
When you paid the price when they shouted crucify
You have risen from the dead
My sins are covered with red
You are my redeemer that lives
The freedom that eternal life gives
I can’t believe what you did for me
Help open up my eyes that I may see
I can love you more and more
When I follow you hard core

Bridge: Before You can use me I need to repent (10)
Before I was saved I had no life purpose (10)
I want to kneel before your throne (10)
Before I leave this world I need to show love (10)
Before I was born you already knew me (10)
Before you made me You have chosen me (10)

Chorus: Before there was this thing called time (9)
I want my life to count for more (9)
You were before all time created (9)
I love you Lord with all my heart (9)
You loved me before I was on Earth (9)

Verse 1: I need you now more than ever before (10)
Every breath I take I want to know you (10)
I love you I want to live now, alive (10)
Before a word is on my lips you know (10)
May the love that you give me overflow (10)

Verse 2: Please help me see you more than before (10)
Living for Jesus is not always easy (10)
To see you working is a lot of fun (10)
I give my life to you in all I do (10)

Verse 3: Help me tell others how much you love them (10)
Please show me how to communicate with you (10)
Others need the answers only you give (10)
After your heart I choose to daily live (10)
