For Every Time

The one he said he'd follow to the grave
A thousand bitter tears could not wash away the sin
In fear he wondered what would Jesus say
Three times Jesus asked him "Do you love Me?"
Three times his heart cried "Lord, you know I do"
Once for every time that he denied Him
Jesus restored him to the hope that he knew

For every time we've broken His heart
For every time we've fallen
Every time we thought we'd gone beyond His grace
Once for all He stood in our place
He died for every time
Every time

How many times have I denied Him?
One day faithful, the next I turn away
It's hard to believe He still loves me
When my sin haunts me every day
But He is faithful when I disobey
When I fall short for His holy call
In my weakness His mercy saves me
I confess my sin, He forgives it all

For every time I've broken His heart
For every time I've fallen
Every time I thought I'd gone beyond His grace
Once for all He stood in our place
He died for every time
He died for every time

Jesus went to the cross and carried my sin
To save a wretch like me
So why take the shame of it back again
When His blood covers me for eternity

He died for every time
For every time
Every time
For every time
My Lord, He died

For every time we've broken His heart
For every time we've fallen
Every time we thought we'd gone beyond His grace
Once for all He stood in our place
He died for every time

We've broken His heart
For every time we've fallen
Every time we thought we'd gone beyond His grace
Once for all He stood in our place
He died for every time

Broken His heart
For every time we've fallen
Every time we thought we'd gone beyond His grace
Once for all He stood
Once for all He stood in our place
He died for every time
