Amazing words!—He ’gave Himself for me

Amazing words!—He ’gave Himself for me

’

For me—rebellious

sinful

guilty me.

For me the Savior bore the cross and shame;

Rejoice

my soul

and bless His sacred name.

For me He left His glorious throne above

For me revealed His Father’s wondrous love

For me He tabernacled here below

For me He drank the bitter cup of woe.

For me He was reviled

despised

betrayed;

For me was scourged

condemned and crucified;

For me He suffered on th’ accursed tree

For me—lost

wretched

vile

unworthy me.

For me in agony He groaned and died

For me God’s righteous law He satisfied

For me His precious blood He shed to save

For me He rose triumphant from the grave.
