Circle encircles the earth.
Chance and choice break his heart.
His innocent arm moves to save me,
And I am spared.
His beautiful arm is bloody and cut off;
His heart ripped out to show me he loved me.
But I wouldn't believe him.
He did all that he could.
I still would not believe him.
I left his arms empty and tied
Outstretched for me until he died.
Left his arms empty and tied
Outstretched for me until he died.
No man
Shows greater love
Than when a man
Lays down his life
For his beloved.
I left his arms empty and tied
Outstretched for me until he died.
Left his arms empty and tied
Outstretched for me until he died.
And here I am alive,
And I don't have the right.
And he gave me the right,
Costing him his life.
New mercy's in the morning.
I believe!
What if I believe you now?
Could it ever change this?
Forgive me,
Believe me,
And please come back to life.
I believe!
What if I believe you now?
Could it ever change this?
Forgive me,
Believe me,
And please come back to life.
Come back to my life.
I believe.
What if I believe you now?
Forgive me,
Believe me,
And please come back to life.
Chance and choice break his heart.
His innocent arm moves to save me,
And I am spared.
His beautiful arm is bloody and cut off;
His heart ripped out to show me he loved me.
But I wouldn't believe him.
He did all that he could.
I still would not believe him.
I left his arms empty and tied
Outstretched for me until he died.
Left his arms empty and tied
Outstretched for me until he died.
No man
Shows greater love
Than when a man
Lays down his life
For his beloved.
I left his arms empty and tied
Outstretched for me until he died.
Left his arms empty and tied
Outstretched for me until he died.
And here I am alive,
And I don't have the right.
And he gave me the right,
Costing him his life.
New mercy's in the morning.
I believe!
What if I believe you now?
Could it ever change this?
Forgive me,
Believe me,
And please come back to life.
I believe!
What if I believe you now?
Could it ever change this?
Forgive me,
Believe me,
And please come back to life.
Come back to my life.
I believe.
What if I believe you now?
Forgive me,
Believe me,
And please come back to life.

Could be? No. It's DEFINITELY about Jesus, though you could twist the lyrics to fit about the military.. maybe? Some of you might not know that Flyleaf is actually a Christian band. When I first heard the lyrics to this song I knew immediately who it was about..
"I left his arms empty and tied Out stretched for me until he died" Jesus died for us, as sinners. He died for the very ones who pushed him away.
"He did all that he could I still would not believe him" People believed in him AFTER the fact of his death. People today still don't believe in him, even after all he has done for us.
Jesus was the ultimate sacrifice. The most inspiring part of it is that he would've died if it was just for me or you.
Well put!<br /> AMEN!!!
