Thank You, Lord, You died for me

Thank You

Lord

You died for me.

You took my place upon the tree.

All my sins were laid on Thee;

You bore them all away...

I was just an enemy

Lost and sold to sin.

But You came to shed

Your blood for me

You the One with no sin!

Many plotted to kill You

Judas he betrayed You.

Disciples

they forsook You

False witnesses were hired.

Then Peter

he denied You

Three times in one night.

An illegal trial condemned You.

How we afflicted You!

They smote You with their palms

And spit into Your precious face.

Buffeting and mocking

They led You away!

Pilate and Herod

Sent You back and forth.

Then the soldiers

they scourged You

And made a crown of thorns.

With a reed

they beat Your head

Pressing the thorns much deeper.

Stripping You

they nailed You

Up on a cross of wood.

In front of You

they gambled

For Your clothes and seamless coat.

All the people passed

despising You.

Then God forsook You too!

The two thieves on either side

As they hung

reviled You.

Though You were dead

a soldier

Still would pierce Your side.

Blood and water poured out

Out from Your broken heart.

That same blood and water saved me!

Lord

how I love You!

When I see the price You paid

You chose to pay my every debt!

Willingly

You bore such shame

And tasted death for me!

How could I ever love the world

That crucified You

dear One?

I am not my own

bought with a price.

I give myself to You!
