I GAVE MY LIFE FOR THEE
1. I gave my life
for thee;
My precious blood I
shed,
That thou might's
ransomed be
And quickened from
the dead.
For thee, for thee,
I gave my life;
What hast thou
given for Me?
For thee, for thee,
I gave my life;
What hast thou
given for Me?
2. I spent long
years for thee,
In weariness and
woe,
That an eternity
Of joy thou
mightest know,
For thee, for thee,
I spent long years;
Hast thou spent one
for Me?
For thee, for thee,
I spent long year
Hast thou spent one
for Me?
3. My Father's home
of light,
My rainbow circled
throne,
I left for earthly
night,
For wand'rings sad
and lone.
For thee, for thee,
I left it all;
Hast thou left
aught for Me?
For thee, for thee,
I left it all;
Hast thou left
aught for Me?
4. I suffer'd much
for thee -
More than thy
tongue can tell,
Of bitt'rest agony
-
To rescue thee from
hell.
For thee, for thee,
I suffer'd much;
What canst thou
bear for Me?
For thee, for thee,
I suffer'd much;
What canst thou bear
for Me?
5. And I have
brought to thee,
Down from My home
above,
Salvation full and
free,
My pardon and My
love.
To thee, to thee,
great gifts I brought;
What hast thou
brought to Me?
To thee, to thee,
great gifts I brought;
What hast thou
brought to Me?
6. Lord, let my
life be given,
And every moment
spent,
For God, for souls,
for heav'n,
And all earth's
ties be rent.
For me, for me,
Thou gavest Thyself;
Now I give all for
Thee.
For me, for me,
Thou gavest Thyself;
Now I give all for
Thee.
