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
