Awesome song by MercyMe... the story behind it is even more awesome.
Wrote a YouTuber:
"I don't know if y'all know this or not, but Bart Millard wrote this song for a young man named B.J. Higgins. B.J. Higgins was so mature in his faith, yet he was only 15 years old. He gave his heart to missions and went to Peru with Awe Star ministries. Long story short, B.J. went back to Peru for a 2nd time in 2005. When he came back though, he became seriously ill. B.J. went home to be with the Lord on September 26, 2005. "I Would Die For You" - a book his parents wrote." - dylanh247
Lyrics:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
And I know that I can find You here
'Cause You promised me You'll always be there
Times like these, it's hard to see
But somehow I have a peace, You're near
And I pray that You will use my life
In whatever way Your name is glorified
Even if surrendering
Means leaving everything behind
My life has never been this clear
Now I know the reason why I'm here
You never know why You're alive
Until you know what you would die for
I would die for You
And I know I don't have much to give
But I promise You I will give You all there is
Can I possibly do less
When through Your own death I live?
No greater love is found
Than of those who lay their own lives down
As sure as I live and breathe
Now I know what it means to be free
