Someone Worth Dying For

by Randy Figuracion

Mikeschair is an American contemporary Christian band signed to Curb Records. The group has charted on the Amerian Contemporary Christian music charts with the song “Can’t Take Away,” which was the 7^th most played Contemporary Christian music song in the United States for the week of June 13, 2009 as reported on the R&R magazine chart (Wikipedia).

In 2011 it released their second full-length album, A Beautiful Life. Included in this track is this affirming ballad about one’s self-worth in God’s eyes “Someone Worth Dying For.” Yes indeed! Every human person is sacred and worth dying for. Here are the lyrics and music video of the song.

You might be the wife,
Waiting up at night
You might be the man,
Struggling to provide
Feeling like it’s hopeless

Maybe you’re the son,
Who chose a broken road
Maybe you’re the girl,
Thinking you’ll end up alone
Praying God can you hear me?
Oh God are you listening?

(Chorus)
Am I more than flesh and bone?
Am I really something beautiful?
Yeah, I wanna believe, I wanna believe that
I’m not just some wandering soul
That you don’t see and you don’t know
Yeah I wanna believe, Jesus help me believe that I
Am someone worth dying for

I know you’ve heard the truth that God has set you free
But you think you’re the one that grace could never reach
So you just keep asking, what everybody’s asking

Chorus

You’re worth it, you can’t earn it
Yeah the Cross has proven
That you’re sacred and blameless
Your life has purpose

You are more than flesh and bone
Can’t you see you’re something beautiful
Yeah you gotta believe, you gotta believe
He wants you to see, He wants you to see
That you’re not just some wandering soul
That can’t be seen and can’t be known
Yeah you gotta believe, you gotta believe that you
Are someone worth dying for

You’re someone worth dying for
You’re someone worth dying for
