1 He died upon the tree,
Yes, He died for you and me;
I'm going tot lay down my life for the Lord.
Chorus:
For the Lord, for the Lord,
I'm going to lay down my life for the Lord.
2 He arose on the third day.
Now He is the living Way;
I'm going to lay down my life for the Lord. [Chorus]
3 In the garden He was found,
Joy and gladness there abound;
I'm going to lay down my life for the Lord. [Chorus]
4 He that seeks to save his life,
In th'attempt will die in strife;
I'm going to lay down my life for the Lord. [Chorus]
5 I shall be like Him, I'm His,
I shall see Him as He is;
I'm going to lay down my life for the Lord. [Chorus]
6 Come, poor sinner, now's the time,
Seek Him and you'll surely find
That you must lay down your life for the Lord. [Chorus]
