He Died for Me

I saw One hanging on a tree
In agony and blood
Who fixed His languid eyes on me
As near His cross I stood

O, can it be, upon a tree
The Savior died for me
My soul is thrilled, my heart is filled
To think He died for me

Sure, never to my latest breath
Can I forget that look
It seemed to charge me with His death
Though not a word He spoke

O, can it be, upon a tree
The Savior died for me
My soul is thrilled, my heart is filled
To think He died for me

My conscience felt and owned the guilt
And plunged me in despair
I saw my sins His blood had spilt
And helped to nail Him there

O, can it be, upon a tree
The Savior died for me
My soul is thrilled, my heart is filled
To think He died for me

A second look He gave, which said
I freely all forgive
This blood is for thy ransom paid
I die that thou may live

O, can it be, upon a tree
The Savior died for me
My soul is thrilled, my heart is filled
To think He died for me
