That Je­sus shed for me,
That Je­sus shed for me,
The cross of Cal­va­ry.
and become a man like me,
You poured out all Your blood
The Son of God was cru­ci­fied,
Oh, hallelujah, what a death
I take my place, dear Lord, with Thee
And now, His hands and feet pierc­ed through,

Upon the cross

The sinner’s hope let men deride,
And for my sins was cru­ci­fied;
Just now by faith I see.
Just now by faith I see.
And Heav­en’s pear­ly gates were op­ened wide
might be free,
You are my Jesus who loves me
On Cal­va­ry His life He gave,
Not only was He dying there
Thy life and power then are mine,
Where even now, in dist­ant view,
