I Gave My Life For Thee

Words: Frances R. Havergal (1858)
Music: Philip P. Bliss (1873 as "Kenosis")
Arrangement: Gary Moyers © 1995 Clifty Music (BMI)
This song also appeared on While the Ages Roll On by Acappella.
Lead: Steve Reischl

Lyrics:

I gave my life to thee
My precious blood I shed
That thou might ransomed be
And quickened from the dead

I gave, I gave my life for thee
What hast thou given for me?
I gave, I gave my life for thee
What hast thou given for me?

My father's house of light
My glory circled throne
I left for earthly night
For wandering, sad alone

I left, I left it all for thee
Hast thou left all for me?
I left, I left it all for thee
Hast thou left all for me?

I sufferred much for thee
More than thy tongue can tell
Of bitterist agony
To rescue thee from hell

I've borne, I've borne it all for thee
What hast thou borne for me?
I've borne, I've borne it all for thee
What hast thou borne for me?

And I have brought to thee
Down from thine home above
Salvation full and free
My pardon and my love

I bring, I bring rich gifts to thee
What hast thou brought for me?
I bring, I bring rich gifts to thee
What hast thou brought for me?

Scriptural Reference:

"You, however, know all about my teaching, my way of life, my purpose, faith, patience, love, endurance, persecutions, sufferings--what kinds of things happened to me in Antioch, Iconium and Lystra, the persecutions I endured. Yet the Lord rescued me from all of them. In fact, everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted. . ." 2 Timothy 3:10-12

There is a Fountain

Lead: Lydia Gott

Lyrics:

There is a fountain filled with blood drawn from Emmanuel's veins
And sinners plunged beneath that flood lose all their guilty stains
Lose all their guilty stains, lose all their guilty stains
And sinners plunged beneath that flood lose all their guilty stains

Dear dying Lamb, Thy precious blood shall never lose its power
Till all the ransomed church of God be saved, to sin no more
Be saved, to sin no more, be saved, to sin no more
Till all the ransomed church of God be saved, to sin no more

E'er since, by faith, I saw the stream Thy flowing wounds supply
Redeeming love has been my theme, and shall be till I die
And shall be till I die, and shall be till I die
Redeeming love has been my theme, and shall be till I die

Scriptural Reference:

"A fountain will be opened to the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, to cleanse them from sin and impurity." Zechariah 13:1

Lyrics:

According to Thy gracious word
In meek humility
This will I do, my dying Lord
I will remember Thee

Thy body, broken for my sake
My bread from heaven shall be
The testamental cup I take
And thus remember Thee

Gethsemane can I forget?
Or there Thy conflict see
Thine agony, and bloody sweat
And not remember Thee?

When to the cross I turn mine eyes
And rest on Calvary
O Lamb of God, my sacrifice
I must remember Thee

Scriptural Reference:

“He took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying ‘This is My body given for you; do this in remembrance of Me.’” Luke 22:19

Lyrics:

My Jesus, I love Thee, I know Thou art mine
For Thee all the follies of sin I resign
My gracious Redeemer, my Savior art Thou
If ever I loved Thee, my Jesus, 'tis now

I love Thee because Thou has first loved me
And purchased my pardon on Calvary's tree
I love Thee for wearing the thorns on Thy brow
If ever I loved Thee, my Jesus, 'tis now

In mansions of glory and endless delight
I'll ever adore Thee in heaven so bright
I'll sing with the glittering crown on my brow
If ever I loved Thee, my Jesus, 'tis now

Lyrics:

Alas! and did my Savior bleed
And did my Sovereign die?
Would He devote that sacred head
For one so low as I?

Chorus:
At the cross, at the cross where I first saw the light
And the burden of my heart rolled away
It was there by faith I received my sight
And now I am happy all the day!

Was it for crimes that I had done
He groaned upon the tree?
Amazing pity! grace unknown!
And love beyond degree!

Repeat Chorus

But drops of grief can ne'er repay
The debt of love I owe
Here, Lord, I give my self away
'Tis all that I can do

Repeat Chorus

'Thy strength indeed is small
Child of weakness, watch and pray
Find in Me thine all in all"

Chorus:
Jesus paid it all
All to Him I owe
Sin had left a crimson stain
He washed it white as snow

Lord, now indeed I find
Thy power and Thine alone
Can change the leper's spots
And melt the heart of stone

Repeat Chorus

And when before the throne
I stand in Him complete
I'll lay my trophies down
All down at Jesus' feet

Repeat Chorus

Nothing But the Blood

Lyrics:

What can wash away my sin?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
What can make me whole again?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus

Chorus:
Oh! precious is the flow
That makes me white as snow
No other fount I know
Nothing but the blood of Jesus

Repeat Chorus

For my pardon, this I see
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
For my cleansing this my plea
Nothing but the blood of Jesus

Repeat Chorus

Nothing can for sin atone
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
Naught of good that I have done
Nothing but the blood of Jesus

Repeat Chorus

What can wash away my sin?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
What can make me whole again?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus

“Without the shedding of blood there is no remission of sin.” Hebrews 9:22

Were you there when they laid Him in the tomb?
