He Gave Himself He Gave Himself

by Niki Lott by Niki Lott

Before the fall of man Before the fall of man


God had a perfect plan, God had a perfect plan,
To fellowship with us was His desire. To fellowship with us was His desire.
But Adam disobeyed, But Adam disobeyed,
To sin became a slave, To sin became a slave,
Now a perfect sacrifice would be required. Now a perfect sacrifice would be required.

An offering must be made, An offering must be made,


The sin debt must be paid, The sin debt must be paid,
So God and man could reconciled be. So God and man could reconciled be.
So Jesus said, “I’ll go,” So Jesus said, “I’ll go,”
Because He loved me so, Because He loved me so,
He shed His blood and paid sin’s penalty. He shed His blood and paid sin’s penalty.

Chorus: Chorus:
He gave Himself to pay a debt I could not pay. He gave Himself to pay a debt I could not pay.
When I was lost, He gave Himself to be my way. When I was lost, He gave Himself to be my way.
Though I deserved to be upon the cross that day, Though I deserved to be upon the cross that day,
In love He took my place, and gave Himself. In love He took my place, and gave Himself.
No greater love is known, No greater love is known,
No greater love is shown, No greater love is shown,
Than when one lays His life down for a friend, Than when one lays His life down for a friend,
But Jesus died for me But Jesus died for me
When I was His enemy. When I was His enemy.
A love like this I cannot comprehend. A love like this I cannot comprehend.

He gave Himself to pay a debt I could not pay. He gave Himself to pay a debt I could not pay.
When I was lost, He gave Himself to be my way. When I was lost, He gave Himself to be my way.
Though I deserved to be upon the cross that day, Though I deserved to be upon the cross that day,
In love He took my place, and gave Himself. In love He took my place, and gave Himself.

My nails were in His hands, My nails were in His hands,


My crown of thorns He wore, My crown of thorns He wore,
My stripes were on His back, My stripes were on His back,
My heavy cross He bore. My heavy cross He bore.
And when God turned His back And when God turned His back
He turned it on my sin, He turned it on my sin,
Jesus won a victory that I could never win! Jesus won a victory that I could never win!

Chorus:
Chorus: He gave Himself to pay a debt I could not pay.
He gave Himself to pay a debt I could not pay. When I was lost, He gave Himself to be my way.
When I was lost, He gave Himself to be my way. Though I deserved to be upon the cross that day,
Though I deserved to be upon the cross that day, In love He took my place, and gave Himself.
In love He took my place, and gave Himself. In love He took my place, and gave Himself.
In love He took my place, and gave Himself. He gave Himself.
He gave Himself.
