RCCG Hymn 150
Alas! And Did My Saviour Bleed?
"The Son of God, who loved me, and gave Himself for me." - Gal 2:20
Alas! and did my Saviour bleed? And did my Sovereign die? Would He devote that sacred head For such a worm as I.
Chorus
At the cross, at the cross where I first saw the light, and the burden of my heart rolled away it was there by faith I received my sight, and now I am happy all the day
Was it for crimes that I have done He groaned upon the tree? Amazing pity! grace unknown! And love beyond degree!
Well might the sun in darkness hide, And shut his glories in, When Christ, the mighty Maker died, For man, the creature's sin.
Thus might I hide my blushing face, Whilst His dear cross appears, Dissolve my heart in thankfulness And melt mine eyes to tears.
But drops of grief can ne'er repay The debt of love I owe, Here, Lord, I give myself away, "'Tis all that I can do.
