It Was for Me

Author: Janet L. Harding Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #3130 Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: O what am I, that I should be Refrain First Line: It was for me, it was for me Lyrics: 1. O what am I, that I should be The object of God’s wondrous grace, That He should send His Son to me, That I might see Him face to face? Refrain It was for me, it was for me; For me He left His throne above; His grace, His goodness all for me, For me, the ocean of His love. 2. That He should give His Son for me, A sacrifice of love divine; Of love as boundless as the sea, That I might call the Savior mine. [Refrain] 3. O wondrous love, that He should leave His throne and come to earth for me; Should give His life my soul to save, The ransom pay, that sets me free. [Refrain] 4. A life of service, death of shame, Ensample true for all—for me— O shall I not adore His name, Through time and through eternity! [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: HARDING
