Verse 1

"That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection."—Phil. 3: 10. I gave My life for thee, My precious blood I shed,
That thou might'st ransom be, And quickened from the dead;
I suffered much for thee, More than thy tongue can tell; O all that I have done for thee, What hast thou done for Me?
