83. Only for You

1 Our Saviour came down from his home in the sky,
Down to the cross, to suffer and die,
Choosing the will of his Father to do,
Only for you, just you.

Refrain:
Only for you, just you,
Only for you, just you,
On the cross crucified
He suffered and died,
Only for you, just you.

2 Oft, oft was he smitten, discouraged and sad,
Burdened himself to make other hearts glad,
Daily he labored beneath heavens blue,
Only for you, just you. [Refrain]

3 Out there in the garden ‘neath olive tree’s shade,
There in his weakness, he fervently pray’d,
Bearing such sorrows as earth never knew,
Only for you, just you. [Refrain]

4 And since he ascended to heaven above,
Up to the home of his infinite love,
There he is praying eternity thro’,
Only for you, just you. [Refrain]
