Author: John M. Whyte Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #11382 First Line: Was it for me, for me alone Refrain First Line: It was for me, yes, all for me Lyrics: 1 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?
Refrain:
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 and king!
2 Was it for me sweet angel strains
Came floating o’er Judea’s plains?
That starlit night so long ago,
Was it for me God planned it so? [Refrain]
3 Was it for me the Savior said,
Pillow thy weary, aching head,
Trustingly on thy Savior’s breast?
Was it for me, can I thus rest? [Refrain]
4 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? [Refrain]
5 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? [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: CANTABRIA
Was It For Me?
