Alas, and did my Saviour bleed?
And did my Sov'reign die?
Would He devote that sacred head
For such a worm as I?
Was it for crimes that I have done,
He groaned upon the tree?
Amazing pity! grace unknown!
And love beyond degree!
Well might the sun in darkness hide,
And shut his glories in,
When Christ, the mighty Maker, died
For man, the creature's sin.
But drops of grief can ne'er repay
The debt of love I owe;
Here, Lord, I give myself away—
'Tis all that I can do!
Studying about the Godman Jesus Christ right now. How it fills the heart with wonderment that my Sovereign would give Himself for me. As I was reading J.R. Graves expounding upon the subject of the humanity and divinity of Christ he quoted the Issac Watts hymn quoted above, which gives the practical application for studying such a message: Jesus, God the Son died for sinners.
