My Precious Savior Gave His All

My precious Savior gave His all-
His body, heart, and soul,
To rescue me from Adam’s fall
And recreate me whole.
He left His majesty behind-
The King became a slave!
No earthly comforts did He find
But sought instead the grave.

His hands, though pierced by enemies
Stretched out in selfless love,
His body, fixed to Calv’ry’s tree,
Now pleads for me above.
Though Jesus’ heart was crushed with grief,
Weighed down with all my sin,
He clung to this, His sure relief-
That joy He soon would win.

His soul was left abandoned there
When on the cross He died
But rose again, His life to share,
My sin and guilt to hide.
What Jesus gave for sinners’ sake
I cannot comprehend;
But this I know- it served to make
This enemy His friend.
