Lyrics

**Verse 1** To visualize those three rusty nails in Your hands and feet— Ohhhh—Your pierced side—to feel the magnitude of the weight at Your mercy’s seat! My sin upon Your shoulders—and the world’s too— My friend—we just couldn’t handle that—neither me nor you! **Chorus** For GOD SO LOVED us, that he gave us his only begotten SON— That whosoever believes in him will not perish but have eternal life—when all is said and done. There is no greater love—than when someone lays their life down for another one— And CHRIST did it all—for everyone! **Pre-Verse** Ohhhh—my tears start to fall like rain— No way I can know the unbelievable pain! I whisper to myself—“His mercy will never end.” Ohhhhh—His love—I will never—ever comprehend! **Verse 2** Thats what GOD did to forgive us from our sin!! Forgiving others—should then be easy when we realize—what CHRIST did for us on that cross—His love took us in. LOVE AND FORGIVENESS aught to be easy—why are they not? Self gets in the way! Ohhhh—give me a servants heart—one that remembers—I am blood bought! **Chorus** For GOD SO LOVED us, that he gave us his only begotten SON— That whosoever believes in him will not perish but have eternal life—when all is said and done. There is no greater love—than when someone lays their life down for another one— And CHRIST did it all—for everyone! **Bridge** All of the things of this world—will slip away— All will be forgotten—come judgment day. But let me oh LORD—never ever to forget the CROSS— Where his blood was shed for me—at the highest cost! **Final Triumphant Chorus ** For GOD SO LOVED us, that he gave us his only begotten SON— That whosoever believes in him will not perish but have eternal life—when all is said and done. There is no greater love—than when someone lays their life down for another one— And CHRIST did it all—for everyone! **Reprise Tag** For GOD SO LOVED us, that he gave us his only begotten SON— That whosoever believes in him will not perish but have eternal life—when all is said and done. There is no greater love—than when someone lays their life down for another one — And CHRIST did it all—for each and everyone!

Christ Did It All For Everyone

Read together: John 3:16–17; John 15:12–13; 1 John 2:1–2; Ephesians 4:31–5:2; Matthew 18:21–35

Try to picture it: three nails, a pierced side, and the weight of the world's sin on one man's shoulders. The song asks us to visualize that moment and feel its magnitude, and then admits what all of us must eventually admit: we just couldn't handle that—neither me nor you.

That is the starting point of the gospel. We could not carry our own sin, let alone anyone else's. So God did what we could not do. The chorus quotes the most famous verse in the Bible. Read John 3:16–17. God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. Verse 17 adds that God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him.

The song's title says Christ did it all for everyone. Read 1 John 2:1–2. John writes that Jesus Christ the Righteous is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours, but also for the sins of the whole world. No one is outside the reach of what Jesus did. The offer of forgiveness is universal; the invitation is to every person. And it is received by faith—"whoever believes in Him."

Then the chorus brings in Jesus' own words. Read John 15:12–13. "Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends." Jesus spoke those words the night before He did exactly that.

The second verse moves from the cross to our daily lives, and it gets uncomfortable in the best way. If we realize what Christ did for us, forgiving others should be easy—so why is it not? Self gets in the way. That is an honest confession. Jesus told a parable about this very problem. Read Matthew 18:21–35. A servant was forgiven an unpayable debt by his master, then went out and choked a fellow servant over a small one. Jesus' point is sobering: those who have received great mercy must not withhold mercy from others.

Paul writes the same in Ephesians 4:31–5:2. Put away bitterness and anger; be kind and tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you; and walk in love, as Christ loved us and gave Himself up for us. The cross is not only the source of our forgiveness. It is the pattern for how we forgive.

We want to be careful here: forgiving someone does not mean pretending harm did not happen, and it does not always mean restoring trust immediately or remaining in danger. It does mean releasing the debt to God and refusing to let bitterness rule your heart. That can take time, and it may require help.

Perhaps there is someone you have not forgiven. Or perhaps you are the one who needs forgiveness—from God, or from someone you have wronged. Either way, start at the cross. Remember, as the song says, that you are blood-bought.

A moment to respond: Read Matthew 18:21–35. Ask the Lord to bring to mind one person you need to forgive. Pray for them by name, asking God to help you release the debt. If you have never received Christ's forgiveness yourself, begin there—trust Him today.

Let's pray: Lord Jesus, we cannot comprehend the weight You carried for us and for the whole world. Thank You for laying down Your life. Forgive our sins, and forgive our stubbornness when we refuse to forgive others. Give us servant hearts that never forget the cross. Let Your love, which took us in, flow through us to others. Amen.

Our desire at UnrelentingJesus is that you would never forget the cross—and that remembering what Christ did for you would make you quick to forgive.
