281. I Gave My Life for Thee

E7  A       D        A                 B7      E
I   gave my life for thee, My precious blood I shed,

E7   A                    D       A         E7       A
That thou might’st ransom be, And quickened from the dead;

A  E               A    D   A          E         E7        A
I  gave, I gave My life for thee, What hast thou given for Me?

A  E               D        A          E         E7        A
I  gave, I gave My life for thee, What hast thou given for Me?


[[Full Lyrics]]

[Verse 1]
I gave my life for thee,
My precious blood I shed,
That thou might’st ransom 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?

[Verse 2]
My Fathers house of light,
My glory circled throne,
I left for earthly night,
For wanderings sad and lone;
I left, I left it all for thee,
Hast thou left aught for Me?
I left, I left it all for thee,
Hast thou left aught for Me?

[Verse 3]
I suffered much for thee,
more than thy tongue can tell,
Of bitterest 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?
