It was secend two thousand four seven PM
Sitting here speechless still kind of in awe
My mind's frozen my soul's closed in on
What I just saw
On the big screen whatbig things happened
I saw like a nightmare some cats cried some try to be hard
Like they didn't care
Tell me why'd they do that
I heard this little girl say
Mommy why did they hurt Jesus
Ahhh she'll find out someday
That the lashes on your back even though hard to see
Each one paints a perfect picture of your love for me
Lash number one
For all the times I turned you away
Chasing after worldy things like money and fame
Lash number two
For all the times that I was so wrong
See I wasn't strong enough to be alone
Lash number three
It's cause you love me you see it's hard to explain
You suffered cause you knew someday our lives would exchange
How many lashes for my sins Lord did it take I suppose
Since we were not there
We will never know how many lashes
Did a check Lord for that night that I lied
The night my Moms cried cause she found out I got high
I swore that night instead of chilling with you
There was that chick I got with it was a chick I barely knew
I could go on all day about all the things that I did
Like that day I was talking mad crazy
About leaving my wife and my kids
I know it's hard to hear but please let me be real
Nah I can't lie to me no more
It's the way that I feel
Lash number one
For all the times I turned you away
Chasing after worldy things like money and fame
Lash number two
For all the times that I was so wrong
See I wasn't strong enough to be alone
Lash number three
It's cause you love me you see it's hard to explain
You suffered cause you knew
Someday our lives would exchange
How many lashes for my sins
Lord did it take I suppose
Since we were not there
We will never know how many lashes
Just for me
He did it just he did it just for me
Just for me
He did it just he did it just for me
This is real love here
Just for me
He did it just he did it
Just for me just for me
He did it just he did it just for me
And as this moment comes to an end
When you look at the world
I wonder would you do it again
Was it worth the change
Do we embarrass your name
When you see us at the church
Tell me are you ashamed
You'll get a shout out at the Grammy's
On side B you'll get a song word up
We'll call you when we need you
When all other options are gone
Because you love us
And it hasn't changed today
And inside if you're still hurting
I'd feel the same way
Lash number one
For all the times I turned you away
Chasing after worldy things like money and fame
Lash number two
For all the times that I was so wrong
See I wasn't strong enough to be alone
Lash number three
You suffered cause you knew someday
Our lives would exchange
How many lashes for my sins Lord did it take I suppose
It's cause you love me you see it's hard to explain
Since we were not there
We will never know how many lashes
Just for me
He did it just he did it just for me
Just for me
He did it just he did it just for me
Just for me
He did it just he did it just for me
