Is It For Me?

 

"I have been crucified with Christ, in Him
I have shared His crucifixion; it is no longer I
who live, but Christ the Messiah lives in me;
and the life I now live in the body I live by faith
in complete trust in the Son of God, Who loved
me and gave Himself up for me."
(Galatians 2:20)

Is it for me, dear Savior,

Thy glory and Thy rest,

For me, so weak and sinful?

O shall I be so blessed?

O Savior, my Redeemer,

What can I but adore,

And magnify and praise Thee,

And love Thee evermore?

Is it for me, Thy welcome,

Thy gracious, "Enter in,"

For me Thy "Come, ye blessed,"

For me so full of sin?

O Savior, my Redeemer,

What can I but adore,

And magnify and praise Thee,

And love Thee evermore?

O Savior, precious Savior,

My heart is at Thy feet;

I bless Thee, and I love Thee,

And Thee I long to meet.

O Savior, my Redeemer,

What can I but adore,

And magnify and praise Thee,

And love Thee evermore?

I'll be with Thee forever,

And never grieve Thee more;

Dear Savior, I must praise Thee,

And love Thee evermore.

O Savior, my Redeemer,

What can I but adore,

And magnify and praise Thee,

And love Thee evermore?
