YOU WERE CRUCIFIED FIRST

[Heart2Soul]

You Were Crucified First by Patty Flowers



I asked for help and prayer

I got advice and scorn

I asked for love and friendship

I got shamed and torn



I needed encouragement and support

I searched for one I could trust

I got abandoned and left alone

I was left face down in the dust



I have been beaten and broken

I have been betrayed and mocked

I have given all and lost all

I was totally and utterly shocked



I was there for so many

I gave when I had it to give

I was available when they needed me

I was happy to do it and why I live





I have been crucified

I have all my dreams been denied

I have pretended and lied

I have fallen to my knees and cried.



BUT YOU WERE CRUCIFIED FIRST……….



I walked away from YOU

I knew it was wrong

I left the one who loved me most

I quit praising YOU in song



I fell into selfish pity

I couldn’t accept what happened to me

I blamed you, I was angry

I just wouldn’t open my eyes to see



I sought to restore my own joy

I turned to the worldly way

I thought I could do it without YOU

I was wrong, what a heavy price to pay





I am here with a broken heart, a contrite spirit

I am crying out to YOU LORD

I repent, I ask for forgiveness

I can only trust in YOUR WORD



I have been crucified

I have all my dreams been denied

I have pretended and lied

I have fallen to my knees and cried.



BUT YOU WERE CRUCIFIED FIRST……….



YOU loved me in spite of myself

YOU never left me nor forsook me

YOU bore all my sin and shame

YOU died to set me free



YOU are my hope and salvation

YOU are my Savior and Lord

YOU are the reason I live

YOU are the Living Word!!





YOU healed all my sorrow and pain

YOU restored me back to a rightful place

YOU cleansed me of my sins

YOU saved me by your saving GRACE.



YOU are worthy of all my praise

YOU are the one who died

YOU are the one who suffered it all

YOU are the one who was crucified





I have been crucified

I have all my dreams been denied

I have pretended and lied

I have fallen to my knees and cried.



BUT YOU WERE CRUCIFIED FIRST……….and you did it for me…..THANK YOU LORD, JESUS.
