I Gave My Life for Thee

Jesus, our precious Savior gave up His place in heaven to come down to earth. He left it all behind to be with mankind. He blessed the world with His presence and showed us how to live. He suffered with mankind to the very end of His life. His precious blood He shed for us so that our sins could be forgiven and so that we might have salvation with Him in heaven. What have you given in return? What have you left for Him? And how much do you suffer in the name of Jesus? Have you brought your all to Him?

Lyrics by Frances R. Havergal, arranged by Philip P. Bliss

“I gave My life for thee, My precious blood I shed, that thou might ransomed be, and quickened from the dead; I gave, I gave My life for thee, What has thou given for Me?

My Father’s house of light, My glory circled throne I left for earthly night, for wanderings sad and lone; I left, I left if all for thee, has thou left aught for Me?

I suffered much for thee, more than thy tongue can tell, of bitterest agony, to rescue thee from hell; I’ve borne, I’ve borne it all for thee, what has thou borne for Me?

And I have brought to thee, down from My home above, salvation full and free, my pardon and My love; I bring, I bring rich gifts to thee, what has thou brought to Me?
