rate me

INTRO SOLO

A E You may be down, you may be out Fm E D

With nothing to be glad about A E

But you can stand right up and shout D E

'Cause Jesus died for you

A E

You may think that you can't cope

Fm E D

You may be drunk or hooked on dope

A E

Believe me brother, you've still got hope

D A

'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

FIRST CHORUS

E D A

He died for you - to complete salvation's plan

E D A

He died for you - He's got nail scars in His hands E A C#m

He bore the cross - to sanctify the lost B

All you've got to do is believe it, E

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

SHORT SOLO

This ol' 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!

SECOND CHORUS

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!

SOLO

REPEAT FIRST CHORUS

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

But bow your head and come on home

'Cause Jesus died for you D

A Jesus died for you D

A Jesus died for you
