♪ He Gave Himself ♪
Before the fall of man, God has a perfect plan
To fellowship with us was his desire But Adam disobey to sin became a slave Now a perfect sacrifice would be required An ofring has been made, the sin that must be paid So God and man now reconciled be So Jesus said "I'll go" because he loves me so He shed his blood to pay sin's 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 that cross that day in love he took my place and gave himself
no greater love is known
no greater love is shown then 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
he gave himself to pay a debt i could not pay
when i was lost he gave himself to be my way though i deserved to be upon that cross that day in love he took my place and gave himself
my nails were in his hand
my crown of thorns he wore my stripe were on his head my heavy cross he bore and when God turn his back he turn it on my sin Jesus won the victory that i could never win
he gave himself to pay a debt i could not pay
when i was lost he gave himself to be my way though i deserved to be upon that cross that day in love he took my place and gave himself in love he took my place and gave himself he gave himself
