Denise and I are playing the offertory in church Sunday, going back again to this Norman Clayton song, written in 1943.<\/p>\n
It was His love for me
\nThat nailed Him to the tree,
\nTo die in agony
\nFor all my sin.
\nFor my own guilt and blame
\nThe great Redeemer came,
\nWilling to bear the shame
\nOf all my sin.
\nO what a Savior is mine –
\nIn Him God’s mercies combine.
\nHis love can never decline,
\nAnd He loves me.<\/p>\n
To Calv’ry’s hill one day
\nThe Lord was led away,
\nNone else the price could pay
\nFor all my sin.
\nHe on the cross was slain
\nYielding His life in pain,
\nHe felt the bitter stain
\nOf all my sin.
\nO what a Savior is mine –
\nIn Him God’s mercies combine.
\nHis love can never decline,
\nAnd He loves me.<\/p>\n
Was ever love so strong?
\nWas ever crime so wrong
\nWhen Jesus suffered long
\nFor all my sin?
\nHe saw my greatest need,
\nBecame my friend indeed;
\nThru Him I have been freed
\nOf all my sin.
\nO what a Savior is mine –
\nIn Him God’s mercies combine.
\nHis love can never decline,
\nAnd He loves me.<\/p>\n
