"Just for me"

On Sunday we sang the the Thank You song. However, this song has one line in, no one word in it, that bothers me. It is the line "Thank You for giving Your life just for me". Now it is not that I am not grateful that Christ gave His life for me, but is it just me? I know and I believe that if I was the only sinner that Christ would have died just for me but I am not the only one. There is a subtle way in which we turn the focus from God to ourselves. There will be those that will argue with me that is not the case but more and more I am convinced that we are finding ways of keeping ourselves as the most important. My wife likes to change the line to "Thank You for giving Your life up for me".
