I gave My life for thee,<\/strong>

My Father\u2019s house of light,<\/strong>
\nMy glory-circled throne<\/strong>
\nI left for earthly night,<\/strong>
\nFor wand\u2019rings sad and lone;<\/strong>
\nI left, I left it all for thee,<\/strong>
\nHast thou left aught for Me?<\/strong>
\nI left, I left it all for thee,<\/strong>

I suffered much for thee,<\/strong>
\nMore than thy tongue can tell,<\/strong>
\nOf bitt\u2019rest agony,<\/strong>
\nTo rescue thee from hell;<\/strong>
\nI\u2019ve borne, I\u2019ve borne it all for thee,<\/strong>

\nI\u2019ve borne, I\u2019ve borne it all for thee,<\/strong>
\nWhat hast thou borne for Me?<\/strong><\/p>\n

And I have brought to thee,<\/strong>
\nDown from My home above,<\/strong>
\nSalvation full and free,<\/strong>
\nMy pardon and My love;<\/strong>
\nI bring, I bring rich gifts to thee,<\/strong>
\nWhat hast thou brought to Me?<\/strong>
\nI bring, I bring rich gifts to thee,<\/strong>

This hymn, written in 1858, really puts things in perspective. Any sacrifice…any suffering we feel we have experienced for the cause of Christ truly pales in comparison to what the Lord has done for us. I gave My life for thee, My precious blood I shed, That thou might ransomed be, And raised up from the dead; I gave, I gave My life for thee, What hast thou giv\u2019n for Me? I gave, I gave My life for thee, What hast thou giv\u2019n for Me? My Father\u2019s house of light, My glory-circled throne I left for earthly night, For wand\u2019rings sad and lone; I left, I left it all for thee, Hast thou left aught for Me? I left, I left it all for thee, Hast thou left aught for Me? I suffered much for thee, More than thy tongue can tell, Of bitt\u2019rest agony, To rescue thee from hell; I\u2019ve borne, I\u2019ve borne it all for thee, What hast thou borne for Me? I\u2019ve borne, I\u2019ve borne it all for thee, What hast thou borne for Me? And I have brought to thee, Down from My home above, Salvation full and free, My pardon and My love; I bring, I bring rich gifts to thee, What hast thou brought to Me? I bring, I bring rich gifts to thee, What hast thou brought to Me? (Frances R.
