Jesus alone did pray for me

Jesus alone did pray for me

There in Gethsemane;

He pled aloud

in agony

Sweat drops like blood for me.

For me! For me!

Upon the cross for me

He bled and died to ransom me;

His heart like wax flowed free—

For me! For me!

Jesus alone was bound for me

On His betrayal night

And He alone was tried for me

In front of Pilate’s sight.

Jesus alone was flogged for me

Until His flesh was torn;

Humiliated

mocked for me

For me was crowned with thorn.

Jesus alone then died for me

Atop Golgotha’s mount.

From hands and feet and side

for me

Flowed sins redeeming fount.

Jesus alone drank up for me

Wrath

curse

and bitter gall

That I partake salvation free

And ne’er taste death at all.

To hear His final “Finished!” cry

My heart

what sighs outpour!

How can I stem emotion’s tide

Such mighty love ignore?
