Representative Text

1. For me (the Lord prayed,) He prayed (for relief)
For me (for me) for me, (for me;)
Alone (His heart broke,) alone (He bore grief)
For me (for me) for me (for me.)

Refrain:
Glory to God He's coming again, coming from heav'n for me;
He intercedes in heaven for me, King of all kings is He.

2 For me (He was slain,) He died (on the cross)
For me (for me) for me, (for me;)
In shame (between thieves,) in shame (and deep loss)
For me (for me) for me (for me.) [Refrain]

3 For me (dead in sin,) He rose (from the grave)
For me (for me) for me, (for me;)
With pow'r (subdued death,) with pow'r (me to save)
For me (for me) for me (for me.) [Refrain]
