For All of Us
by Tanya Goodman Sykes

Album: Innocent Eyes

She weeps in silence
Afraid to share her pain
No need to open
That old wound again
She knows that she cannot replace
The life that she has taken
Still, she searches for a way
To stop the empty aching

It was for her
The greatest price was paid
In selfless sacrifice
Christ gave His life away
It was His highest hope
Every wandering lamb be saved
It was for her
The greatest price was paid

Outside his darkened room
He hears the footfall
Of strangers passing
No one comes to call
A life of sin betrayed him
And robbed him of his years
Even those he loves the most
Cannot reach beyond their tears

It was for him
The greatest price was paid
In selfless sacrifice
Christ gave His life away
It was His highest hope
Every wandering lamb be saved
It was for him
The greatest price was paid

Oh, yes, their sins are many
Great is their shame
He weeps no less for them
He carries their pain

It was for them
The greatest price was paid
In selfless sacrifice
Christ gave His life away
It was His highest hope
Every wandering lamb be saved
It was for her
It was for him
It was for every heart
Held captive by sin
It was for all of us
The greatest price was paid
