Ghost Ship - You Loved Us First lyrics

Because you loved us first Now we can love each other We know what love is worth Because you loved us first I wounded everyone I cared about; I shut them out I built a barricade of pride they could not climb Your d**h, your blood, your love, changed everything Because you loved us first Now we can love each other We know what love is worth Because you loved us first We can love the way that you love us Because you loved us first We can love the way that you love us Because you loved us first Your wounded hands and feet; your scars, they speak of love for me This selfless sacrifice; a love I’ve never seen The blood you shed for me has set me free Love is laying down your life Love is marked with sacrifice Love will always persevere when nothing else will pay that price Love forgives, and love defends Love is patient without end Love, he came and called us friends and died so we could be with him Because you loved us first Now we can love each other You gave us your own life Your love for us is sacrifice Lay my life down for my brothers Lay my life down for my family Lay my life down for my sisters Lay my life down for my enemies
