It was for me that Jesus came,
Leaving Heaven & His Father the same,

For me, He completed God’s plan,
He’d done no wrong in the sight of God or man,

For me, He took my guilt & shame,
Not me, but Jesus, they did blame,

For me, He was beaten & scarred,
Horrendously & unrecognizably marred,

For me, the burden of my cross He did bear,
Demonstrating how He so lovingly doth care,

For me, He was nailed to the cross at Calvary,
Even though He had the power to set Himself Free,

For me, He who was sinless, became my sin,
Each of my transgressions poured upon Him,

For me, He was separated from His Father above,
All because me, He doth love,

For me, He willingly gave up His life,
To purify me from a world of strife,

For me, three days later He arose victoriously,
Paid for my sins & conquered death gloriously,

For me, now my sins are forgiven,
Though unworthy, one day I’ll live in Heaven,

And Jesus, face to face, I will finally meet,
With tear stained face I shall bow before His feet,

Thanking Jesus for dying on Calvary’s tree,
For me, For me, For me, For even me !
