We all love a good 80’s rock ballad. Back in the mid to late 80’s I rocked the mullet and listened to a lot of Christian Heavy Metal. This ballad was one I listened to a lot. And, as I was prepping Luke 23 to preach tomorrow, I remembered the lyrics that went with this song. Maybe you’ll enjoy it, too.
Here are the lyrics:
[Chorus]
He died for you and I
Oh, Jesus
[Verse 1]
On that day
As He hangs on the cross for you and I
He said “Father
Forgive them for they know not what they do”
Oh
[Verse 2]
It’s time you realize what He has done for you
Just open up your eyes and face the truth
Why don’t you realize what God has done for you?
He sent His only Son to die for you!
[Chorus]
And He died for you and I
Oh Jesus
He died for you and I
Oh Jesus
[Bridge]
And when they hung Him on the cross
His face they did not recognize
And when they saw Him hanging there
Oh the pain
[Verse 3]
And when they hung Him on the cross
His face they did not recognize
And when they saw Him hanging there
Oh the pain
[Chorus]
Oh
And He lives for you and I
Oh Jesus
Oh
