I Gave My Life for Thee

I gave My life for thee, My precious blood I shed,
That thou might'st ransomed be,
and quickened from the dead;
I gave, I gave My life for thee--
what hast thou giv'n for Me?
I gave, I gave My life for thee--
what hast thou giv'n for Me?

My Father's house of light,
My glory circled throne
I left, for earthly night,
for wand'rings sad and lone;
I left, I left it all for thee--
hast thou left aught for Me?
I left, I left it all for thee--
hast thou left aught for Me?



I suffered much for thee,
more than thy tongue can tell,
Of bitt'rest agony, to rescue thee from hell.
I've borne, I've borne it all for thee--
what hast thou borne for Me?
I've borne, I've borne it all for thee--
what hast 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 hast thou brought to Me?
I bring, I bring rich gifts to thee--
what hast thou brought to Me?
