For Me?
Lord Jesus, Redeemer,
Didst Thou die for me?
For me, Lord a sinner -
How could such love be?
O fairest Lord Jesus,
Didst thou suffer scorn?
For me, Lord, a sinner,
Wear a crown of thorn?
And were Thy hands wounded,
Wounded, Lord, for me?
Thy holy feet pierced
On the bitter Tree?
And, Lord, wast Thou thirsty,
Thirsty, Lord, for me?
O fairest Lord Jesus,
How could such love be?
O make my heart tender;
Pardon, pardon me,
That ever forgetful,
I have grieved Thee.
I would be Thy lover,
Taking up my cross,
Thy lover forever,
Come there gain or loss.
- Amy Carmichael, Mountain Breezes
