It Was for Me
To the silent garden came Jesus with His disciples
To the garden of Gethsemane
Said He then, Sit ye here
Yonder will I go to pray
Tarry here and watch with me one hour
In dark Gethsemane, there prayed the Son of God
Who said, "Thy will be done," and dared receive the bitter cup
And He, the sinless One, suffered all for sinful man
And His grief and pain
It was for me
In dark Gethsemane
Said He then, The hour is come
He is near who betrayeth me
Betrayeth me into the sinners' hands
Taken, mocked, crowned with thorns
Left alone and forsaken
Left alone the heavy cross He bore
Along the weary road, the way to Calvary
There walked the Lord of all
By death to heal the wounded heart
And save the anguished soul
For the love of man to die
And the cross He bore
It was for me
The cross of Calvary
In dark Gethsemane
The cross at Calvary
There won the Lord of all the victory o'er death and hell
Transgression's captive freed by the sacrifice of love
And the price He paid so willingly
It was for me
It was for me.
To the garden of Gethsemane
Said He then, Sit ye here
Yonder will I go to pray
Tarry here and watch with me one hour
In dark Gethsemane, there prayed the Son of God
Who said, "Thy will be done," and dared receive the bitter cup
And He, the sinless One, suffered all for sinful man
And His grief and pain
It was for me
In dark Gethsemane
Said He then, The hour is come
He is near who betrayeth me
Betrayeth me into the sinners' hands
Taken, mocked, crowned with thorns
Left alone and forsaken
Left alone the heavy cross He bore
Along the weary road, the way to Calvary
There walked the Lord of all
By death to heal the wounded heart
And save the anguished soul
For the love of man to die
And the cross He bore
It was for me
The cross of Calvary
In dark Gethsemane
The cross at Calvary
There won the Lord of all the victory o'er death and hell
Transgression's captive freed by the sacrifice of love
And the price He paid so willingly
It was for me
It was for me.
