Representative Text

1 There is One who loved me truly, and so well,
That he came from heav’n for me,
Died for me, on the tree,
And I never, no, I never can forget.

Refrain:
O I never can forget!
O I never can forget!
How he died on Calvary,
How he died to set me free,
O I never can forget!

2 There is One who bore my burden, O so great!
Bore the shame of sin for me,
All for me, on the tree,
And I never, no, I never can forget. [Refrain]

3 There is One who bought my pardon, full and free,
Paid the price of sin for me,
E’en for me, on the tree,
And I never, no, I never can forget. [Refrain]

4 There is One I love more dearly than all else,
For he gave his life for me,
Yes, for me, on the tree,
And I never, no, I never can forget. [Refrain]
