Was it for me, for me alone,
The Savior left His glorious throne;
The dazzling splendors of the sky,
Was it for me He came to die?
Chorus:
It was for me, yes, all for me,
O love of God, so great, so free!
O wondrous love, I”ll shout and sing,
He died for me, my Lord the King!
Was it for me He wept and prayed,
My load of sin before Him laid,
That night within Gethsemane,
Was it for me, that agony?
Was it for me He bowed His head,
Upon the cross, and freely shed
His precious blood—that crimson tide,
Was it for me the Savior died?
