Worth Dying For

I keep hearing this song on the radio:


Someone Worth Dying For By Mikeschair

"You might be the wife, waiting up at night
You might be the man, struggling to provide
Feeling like it's hopeless
Maybe you're the son, who chose a broken road
Maybe you're the girl, thinking you'll end up alone
Praying God can you hear me?
Oh God are you listening?

Am I more than flesh and bone?
Am I really something beautiful?
Yeah I wanna believe, I wanna believe that
I'm not just some wandering soul
That you don't see and you don't know
Yeah I wanna believe, Jesus help me believe that I
Am someone worth dying for

I know you’ve heard the truth that God has set you free
But you think you're the one that grace could never reach
So you just keep asking, oh what everybody's asking

Am I more than flesh and bone?
Am I really something beautiful?
Yeah I wanna believe, I wanna believe that


I'm not just some wandering soul
That you don't see and you don't know
Yeah I wanna believe, Jesus help me believe that I
Am someone worth dying for



You're worth it, you can’t earn it
yeah the cross has proven
That you're sacred and blameless
Your life has purpose 



You are more than flesh and bone
Can't you see you're something beautiful
Yeah you gotta believe, you gotta believe
He wants you to see, He wants you to see
That you're not just some wandering soul
That can't be seen and can't be known
Yeah you gotta believe, you gotta believe that you
Are someone worth dying for

You're someone worth dying for
You're someone worth dying for"



I love it, because it is so hard to believe that I am someone worth dying for. Christ and his grace are so hard to fathom. This song is a reminder to me (and to all of us!) that I am worth dying for! Jesus gave up his life for us, his perfect life, on a nasty cross and in a way that brought him so much pain. Why would he do something like that? Because he loves each one of us more than we could ever imagine. 


"Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends." John 15:13


The best part is: if I was the only person on this earth, if you were the only person on this earth, Jesus still would have suffered and died for me or for you, just so that we could spend all of eternity praising His name.

  1. exactly! I love this song too! It is hard to believe that even if I was the only one, He STILL would have died, but He did! and I am so eternally grateful!
