He Died for Me

 

He Died for Me

If you were at the foot of Jesus’ Cross, would you look away from His blood stained body or would you take in His eyes? He is looking at you, and do you feel convicted, knowing it was your sins that put Him on that cross? Yes, He died on that cross because of you and me and because He wanted us to live. He died to take away those sins that put Him on the cross. Even today, when we sin, we crucify our Lord and Savior. It’s because of His grace that we are forgiven. Let us strive to be like Jesus and sin no more.

Lyrics by John Newton, arranged by Edwin O. Excell

“I saw One hanging on a tree, in agony and blood; He fixed His languid eyes on me, as near His cross I stood.

Sure, never, till my latest breath, can I forget that look; It seemed to charge me with His death, Though, not a word He spoke.

My conscience felt and owned the guilt and plunged me in despair; I saw my sins His blood had spilt and helped to nail Him there.

Alas! I knew not what I did, but now my tears are vain; Where shall my trembling soul be hid? For I the Lord have slain.

A second look He gave, which said, “I freely all forgive; This blood is for thy ransom paid, I die that thou may live.

Oh, can it be, upon a tree the Savior died for me? My soul is thrilled; my heart is filled. To think He died for me!
