136. He Died for Me

1 Upon the cross the Savior died,
He died for me, He died for me;
The Son of Man was Crucified
It was for me, it was for me;
O wondrous love that formed the plan,
To rescue thus poor fallen man,
I come O Lord, with this my plea,
He died for me, He died for me.

2 The blood that flowed from Jesus’ side,
Was shed for me, was shed for me;
That blood unto my heart applied
Will make me free, will make me free.
That cleansing stream by faith I know,
Will make my heart as white as snow,
Here, Lord, I give myself to Thee,
Thine own to be, Thine own to be.

3 Before the Father’s throne above,
He pleads for me, He pleads for me;
He pleads the story of His love,
His love for me, His love for me.
And when I leave this earth below,
Thro’ Jesus’ love I’ll safely go,
Forever more with Him to be,
From sin set free, from sin set free.
