¨I Would Die For You¨

This is a Mercy Me song that I had never heard before and I was on the computer here at the locutorio doing lesson plans and just listening to different songs on YouTube and when I heard this song, I started crying.

And then I looked up the lyrics and read the first comment underneath it and I really started crying even more. Here are the lyrics and I  also posted the comment right under the lyrics. You can listen to it on YouTube here. I dont think Ive heard a song that moved me so much...maybe ever. The lyrics came from a 14 year old kid that died from a deadly infection he picked up while he was on a mission trip in Peru. I had no idea.

I WOULD DIE FOR YOU

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
 
 
Heres the comment:
 
¨this song was written entirely from BJ Higgins journals. he was a 14 year old boy who went to Peru on a mission trip with Awestar ministries and picked up a deadly virus. when told he was going to die, BJ replied "tell me one downside to that!" amazing attitude! he journeyed back to Peru once more before dying just a few days shy of his 16th birthday. his parents wrote a book called I would die for you. check out BJs story and awestar ministries it will change your life!! god really used this boy! :]¨
