It Was For Me

Why leave a heav'nly mansion?

Why choose a simple stall?

Why wander poor and homeless,

The King and Lord of all?
Why heal a lonely beggar?

Why cause the blind to see?

The light of all creation,

Shining there for me.

 

It was for me He cried,

For me He died,

For me He shed His blood upon a tree.

It was for me He came,

For me His shame;

For me, oh praise Him name,

It was for me.

 

Why stay in Olive's garden?

Why spend the night in pray'r?

Why suffer such betrayal -

In anguish kneeling there?

Why leave His mother crying?

Why set Barabas free?
The spotless Lamb of heaven -

Given there for me.

 

It was for me He cried,

For me He died,

For me He shed His blood upon a tree.

It was for me He came,

For me His shame;

For me, oh praise His name,

It was for me.

 

The King who came from heaven,

To the cry, "There is no room,"

Now must lay His weary body -

In a cold and borrowed tomb.

But the grave, it would not hold Him;

Death lost its victory.

The risen Lord of glory -

Is living now for me.

 

It was for me He cried,

For me He died,

For me He shed His blood upon a tree.

It was for me He came,

For me His shame;

For me, oh praise Him name,

It was for me.

 

"The Lord is risen!!!" "He is risen indeed!!!" Today was spent singing a bunch of the old hymns in church and having wonderful fellowship with our church family. The song, "It Was For Me" was sung by our ladies choir this morning. I find it extremely humbling that Jesus Christ died for my sins. He knew how bad of a person I would be, and He still died for me. I should've been the one to die on that cross for my sins.

 

This morning Brother Walter Olson spoke from Matthew 28. In verses five through six, it says; "And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified. He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay." All we have to do to be saved is come to the Lord.

 

 

John 11:25

"Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection,

and the life: he that believeth on me,

though he were dead, yet shall he live:"
