Someone Died For You

He died for you 
He cried for you
He suffered for you
He paid his blood for you

He loves you
and still you swear
He cares for you 
and still you slander
He holds you in His arms to protect you from the world
and still you abuse the body that He gave you

You're afraid of someone bigger than you
You're afraid of someone stronger than you
You're afraid of someone who has more power than you

You're hurting Him through everything you do
why do you do this to yourself

He's not a imaginary friend
He's really there when you need Him
He's there when you need someone to talk to
He's there to protect you 
He's there to help you 

He died for you 
He cried for you
He suffered for you
He paid His blood for you

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Have a blessed day.
