He Gave Himself

Before the fall of man

God had a perfect plan

To fellowship with us was His desire

But Adam disobeyed to sin became a slave

Now a perfect sacrifice would be required

An offering must be made

The sin debt must be paid

So God and man can reconciled be

But Jesus said I'll go

Because He loves me so

He shed His blood and payed sins penalty

He gave himself

To pay a debt I could not pay

When I was lost, He gave himself to be my way

Though I deserve to be upon the cross that day

In love He took my place and gave himself

No greater love is known

No greater love is shown

That when one lays His life down for a friend

But Jesus died for me when I was His enemy

A love like this I cannot comprehend

My nails were in His hand

My crown of thorns He wore

My stripes were on His back

My heavy cross He bore

And when God turned His back

He turned it on my sin

Jesus won a victory that I could never win
