16363. For You, For Me

1 When the Shep­herd went seek­ing
The wan­der­ing sheep,
He was seek­ing for you;
He was seek­ing for me.
When He prayed that the Fa­ther
Might shel­ter and keep,
He was pray­ing for you;
He was pray­ing for me.

Refrain:
For you, for me,
He la­bored and suf­fered
And died on the tree;
For you, for me,
For you and for me,
For you and for me.

2 When He drank of the cup that
He dread­ed to drink,
He was think­ing of you;
He was think­ing of me.
When the grave lay be­fore and
He stepped from the brink,
He was dy­ing for you;
He was dy­ing for me. [Refrain]

3 When He prayed, O for­give, they
Know not what they do,
He was pray­ing for you;
He was pray­ing for me.
And He now in­ter­cedes with
The Fa­ther for you,
Interceding for you,
Interceding for me. [Refrain]
