For
You!
The Lord my blessed Savior,
Oh, how I love Him so!
“I love thee child enough,”
He said
“Up to Calvary I will go.”
I’m sure the climb was steep
and long,
and all the way was hard;
But Jesus said, “I’ll do
this child,”
Although His body marred.
Never a man could love so
much
As my Lord and Savior did.
No other man could pay the
price
For my soul of sin to rid.
I’m sure the nails put in
His hands
Burned as they went through;
But Jesus cried, “I do this
child
To prove My love for you.”
The thorns around His brow,
I’m sure,
Brought blood about His
face;
“This,” He said “I do My
child,
So your sin I can erase.”
As they parted His garments and cast lots for them,
I’m sure my Savior prayed,
“My God I surely do this
That Your children might
be saved.”
I know what my Savior meant
by,
“My child this is for you.”
I hope, my friend, you know
by now
You are one of His children
too.
“I
am the good shepherd; the good shepherd
lays
down His life for the sheep.”
John
10:11(NASB)
