'It Was For Me' - The Salvation Army Songsters, Felixstowe

During the Good Friday Morning Service, 29 March 2024, the Songsters presented this very moving version of 'It Was For Me' under the direction of Songster Leader, Kevin Gray. The church fell quiet as the congregation reflected upon the beautiful words of this song.

Join us each Sunday - 10.30am Morning Worship Service.

IT WAS FOR ME
Lyrics: George S. Smith
Music: Robert E. Clemons

Behold Him now on yonder tree,
The Prince of Peace, the Heavenly King;
O what can his transgressions be
Such shameful punishment to bring?

And lo! A thief hangs on each side,
Who justly suffers for his crime.
But why should Christ be crucified,
The One so holy, so divine?

CHORUS
It was for me, yes, even me,
That Jesus died on Calvary;
My soul to cleanse from all its guilt,
His precious blood my Saviour spilt.

Oh sinner see, for you and me,
He freely suffers in our stead;
And lo! He dies upon the tree;
Behold, He bows His sacred head!

So pure, yet He has borne our guilt,
By death our ransom He has paid;
It was for us His blood was spilt;
Our every sin on Him was laid.

CHORUS

O loving Saviour, take my heart,
No longer can I live from Thee!
With all unlike Thee now I part;
The wondrous love has conquer’d me.

I yield to Thee my little all;
Accept me now, Lord as thine own;
I’ll be obedient to thy call
And spend my life for Thee alone.

CHORUS

It was for me.
