He Gave Himself - duet with Renjie - cover

“Grace to you and peace from God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ, who gave Himself for our sins, that He might deliver us from this present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father, to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen.” ‭‭Galatians‬ ‭1:3-5‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ He Gave Himself Before the fall of man God had a perfect plan, To fellowship with us was His desire. But Adam disobeyed, To sin became a slave, Now a perfect sacrifice would be required. An offering must be made, The sin debt must be payed, So God and man could reconciled be. So Jesus said, “I’ll go,” Because He loved me so, He shed His blood and paid sin’s penalty. He gave Himself to pay a debt I could not pay. When I was lost, He gave Himself to be my way. Though I deserved to be upon the cross that day, In love He took my place, and gave Himself. No greater love is known, No greater love is shown, Than when one lays His life down for a friend, But Jesus died for me When I was His enemy. A love like this I cannot comprehend. He gave Himself to pay a debt I could not pay. When I was lost, He gave Himself to be my way. Though I deserved to be upon the cross that day, In love He took my place, and gave Himself. My nails were in His hands, My crown of thorns He wore, My stripes were on His back, My heavy cross He bore. And when God turned His back He turned it on my sin, Jesus won a victory that I could never win! He gave Himself to pay a debt I could not pay. When I was lost, He gave Himself to be my way. Though I deserved to be upon the cross that day, In love He took my place, and gave Himself. Accompaniment by: He Gave Himself ( The Hawks Trio) | Piano by Keza
