  • I've been here a thousand times before
    Face down on the floor
    Wondering how I even reached this place again
    But You have shown so endlessly
    How Your love pours over me
    No picture can re-create the beauty that I see

    Show me what it means
    To live my life a sacrifice
    If only I would realize
    How much it took to pay the price
    I know I?d always give everything to You

    I want this world to always see
    Your perfect Majesty
    Reflecting from my life this brilliant poetry
    Written all over this place
    The signs of all creation that You breathed
    Words can't even state how much You mean to me

    Show me what it means
    To live my life a sacrifice
    If only I would realize
    How much it took to pay the price
    I know I?d always give everything to You

    I want to face my very crime
    Of not giving all of mine
    But I can feel the hope You bring to me

    And show me what it means
    To live my life a sacrifice
    If only I would realize, yeah
    How much it took to pay the price

    Show me what it means
    To live my life a sacrifice
    If only I would realize
    How much it took to pay the price
    I know I?d always give everything to You

  • Nick from Cheonan, KoreaI was hoping to find some information about what inspired Jeremy to write the song "This Man." I know it is about the trial, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. I wondered what scriptures he was looking at when he wrote the song.
