For You Lyrics

I will drink the cup,
The poison overflowing.
I will lift you up,
Watch over where you're going.
The first one in,
The last one gone;
I'll be the rock to stand upon,
For you,
For you.

My spirit aches,
And I can't stop this river flowing.
In fear I take
Each labored breath I draw in, knowing
That this could be my life,
My final hour.
But faith and hope and love
Give me the power,
For you,
For you.

Yea, though I walk through the valley
Of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil, for you are with me.
You are with me.

I'll be your salvation,
Though the storm's surrounding.
There are no conditions,
Lay my body down.
In the wake abandon, willing sacrifice.
I'll walk through the canyon,
Bring the shadows light.
For you,
For you.

I will drink the cup,
The poison overflowing.
I will lift you up,
Watch over where you're going.
The first one in,
The last one gone,
I'll be the rock to stand upon.
The first one in,
The last one gone,
I'll be the rock to stand upon
For you (x5).

i love this song..i can't believe there are no comments yet..i think this song is about somebody who is there to help out another person in their time of need...at times it gets hard to be strong..but they stay stong for the other person...it could also deal with religion and how this person is staying strong for God..and how he wants to give up on God but he remains the rock for God...beautiful song
