I Gave My Life For Thee

5 verses

Verse 1

I gave my life for thee, My precious blood I shed, That thou might'st ransomed be, And quickened from the dead; I gave, I gave My life for thee, What hast thou giv'n for Me?

Verse 2

I spent long years for thee In weariness and woe, That an eternity Of joy thou mightest know: I spent, I spent long years for thee; Hast thou spent one for Me?

Verse 3

My Father's home of light, My glory-circled throne I left for earthly night For wand'rings sad and lone; I left, I left it all for thee, Hast thou left aught for Me?

Verse 4

I suffered much for thee, More than thy tongue can tell, Of bitt'rest agony - To rescue thee from hell; I've borne, I've borne it all for thee, What hast thou borne for Me?

Verse 5

Lord, let my life be given, And every moment spent, For God, for souls, for heaven, And all earth's ties be rent Thou gav'st, Thou gav'st Thyself for me, Now I give all for Thee.
