I Knew Not, He Died For Me


I knew not that Jesus died for me; until I heard of Calvary.
How He hung on an old cross and died for our victory.
The awesome feeling inside my heart; shows me Christ’s love.
I am saved through His pain, and shall be with Him there above.

He suffered and He died, for the entire world to have a way.
He gave a way at Calvary, for all; to lay down our sins; each day.
Oh Holy, Holy, Holy rings inside my mind and heart…
It’s with the Son of God; I could never want to part.

Joy is in our heart and soul that for us He bled and died,
Upon an old rugged Cross, Jesus Christ was crucified.
He ever saved the day; He literally paved the glorious way.
He cloaked the blessed way to Eternity that glad day.

I wonder at times if we will have great rivers and streams.
Maybe we’ll sleep at night and listen to Jesus’ dreams.
I am sure that’s a fantasy and there will be no night.
But it will be most beautiful around our sweet Jesus’ light.

He will mourn for those that don’t come to Him here.
He would not be pleased for anyone that had not His cheer.
Let us keep our heart and soul on the Savior of all,
For one day this sweet Savior; will come to give us a call.
