For The Life of Me
by Susan Whisnant

Album: For The Life of Me

V1:
For the life of me I cannot find a reason
Just why a royal king would leave his throne
He looked down on humanity and loved us
Enough to don a robe of flesh and bone

He knew that they would mock him and they'd beat him
Still he chose to be our sacrifice
He knew the pain that waited on a rugged cross
Still he came and paid the highest price

Chorus:
And for the life of me I don't understand
How he could look beyond my faults, Love away my sin
For the life of me, I just cannot see
why he would give me mercy, When I was undeserving
How could he die just for the life of me

V2:
For the life of me I cannot find the answer
How one like him could care for me so much
There is nothing I could give to make me worthy
For the price he paid for me with his own blood

But there at that ole' whipping post he saw me
And he knew that I'd be lost with out his grace
So in love he turned and climbed the hill Golgotha
And he died upon a cross that bore my name.
