My precious Savior suffered pain and agony,
He bore it all that I might live;
He broke the bonds of sin and set the captive free,
All that I might in His presence live.
Refrain
He bore it all that I might see His shining face,
Freely bore it all, that I might live;
I stood condemned to die, but Jesus took my place,
He bore it all that I might live.
They placed a crown of thorns upon my Savior’s head,
He bore it all that I might live;
By cruel man with spear His side was pierced and bled,
All that I might in His presence live.
Refrain
Up Calv’ry’s hill in shame the blessèd Savior trod,
He bore it all that I might live;
Between two thieves they crucified the Son of God,
All that I might in His presence live.
Refrain
