This old song impressed me recently, particularly the question, "What hast thou giv'n for me?" It's worth reading slowly

and meditating on.

What have I given?

---

I Gave My Life for Thee

I gave my life for thee, My precious blood I shed,

That thou might'st ransomed be, And quickened from the dead;

I gave, I gave my life for thee, What hast thou giv'n for me?

I gave, I gave my life for thee, What hast thou giv'n for me?

My Father's house of light, My glory circled throne

I left, for earthly night, For wand'rings sad and lone;

I left, I left it all for thee, Hast thou left aught for me?

I left, I left it all for thee, Hast thou left aught for me?

I suffered much for thee, More than thy tongue can tell,

Of bitt'rest agony, To rescue thee from hell;

I've borne, I've borne it all for thee, What hast thou borne for me?

I've borne, I've borne it all for thee, What hast thou borne for me?

And I have brought to thee, Down from my home above,

Salvation full and free, My pardon and my love;

I bring, I bring rich gifts to thee, What hast thou brought to me?

I bring, I bring rich gifts to thee, What hast thou brought to me?
