about

I realize that my little songs and my small acts of service and even my strivings to live a holy life (which of course will never be more than strivings) don't come close to the worth of God's sacrifice to awake me to a new life, bringing me back from the dead. But since it was so costly to Him (requiring the death of His only Son), I will bear that weight in my mind as I try to live the gift of life the way He had in mind for me.

I really like the way this song turned out and want to do something similar, with REAL strings, for the pro recording. "For What It's Worth" is also the name of the worship album I hope to record.

lyrics

I love you for what you've done
There's nothing that you cannot redeem
You conquered and victory won
You came back and rescued me

But at what cost?
How immeasurable the value of your loss?
And how precious was the jewel from your own hand?
I can never understand, but…

I won't waste it, I won't waste it, no
I'll take it for what it's worth
You saved me, you gave me life
I'll take it for what it's worth to you

I love you 'cause you loved me
You showed me by laying down your life
Your heart stopped; mine began to beat
You died and I came alive

And can it be?
That you would make yourself a slave to set me free?
That you would give your all so I would never lack
I can never pay it back, but…

Could I do anything for you?
Something, anything I could give?
But all I have, everything I am
You gave, even this life I live

I won't waste it, I won't waste it, no
I'll take it for what it's worth
You changed me, you made me new
I'll take it for what it's worth to you

I love you 'cause you loved me
