He Died For You and Me

There before me was the cross
Where Christ was crucified
He gave his life on Calvary
So we could live in paradise

Tears began to roll down my face
In my life, I'd made many mistakes
There that day He'd taken my place
He forgave me, my sins He did take

They were washed away by His blood 
He shed for me that very day
There they took Him to the tomb
Three days later, stone rolled away

He had risen from the grave
No longer in hell enslaved
Went back to heaven to be
Waiting for you and me
