I
THE SAVIOR BORE A BURDEN RARE.
HE SUFFERED PAIN NO ONE COULD SHARE.
AND IN HIS GREATEST TRIAL OF ALL HE PRAYED FOR ME.
A LOVE LIKE THIS NO ONE HAD KNOWN.
FOR HE GAVE UP HIS GLORY THRONE.
TO WALK UPON THIS EARTH ALONE AND PRAY FOR ME.
II
HE WAS CRUCIFIED BY MEN, YET HE AROSE TO LIVE AGAIN.
TO HIS FATHER HE WOULD ASCEND AND PRAY FOR ME.
NOW ON THE THRONE'S RIGHT HAND HE WAITS
FOR ALL WHO WALK THE PATH CALLED STRAIGHT.
OUR SAVIOR PLEADS OUR EVERY CASE AND PRAYS FOR ME.
CHORUS
AND HE SAID FATHER FOR THESE YOU'VE GIVEN ME, I PRAY.
AND FOR ALL WHO THRU THEM SHALL BELIEVE.
IN HIS HEARTACHE AND DESPAIR, MY SAVIOR MADE AN ALTER THERE
BOWING DOWN IN HUMBLE PRAYER HE PRAYED FOR ME.
