Thy Life was giv'n for me
- Thy Life was giv'n for me,
Thy blood, O Lord, was shed,
That I might ransomed be,
And quickened from the dead;
Thy Life was giv'n for me, for me;
What have I giv'n for Thee? - Long years were spent for me
In weariness and woe,
That through eternity
Thy glory I might know;
Long years were spent for me, for me;
Have I spent one for Thee? - Thy Father's home of light,
Thy rainbow-circled throne,
Were left for earthly night,
For wanderings sad and lone;
Yea, all was left for me, for me;
Have I left aught for Thee? - Thou, Lord, hast borne for me
More than my tongue can tell
Of bitterest agony,
To rescue me from hell;
Thou suff'redst all for me, for me;
What have I borne for Thee? - And Thou hast brought to me
Down from Thy home above
Salvation full and free,
Thy pardon and Thy love;
Great gifts, great gifts Thou broughtest me;
What have I brought to Thee? - Oh, let my life be given,
My years for Thee be spent;
World-fetters all be riven,
And joy with suff'ring blent;
Thou gav'st Thyself for me, for me,
I give myself to Thee.

May 1, 2010Frank PytelChicago, Illinois, United StatesWhenever I sing this hymn before the Lord, I realize He is so much, and I am so little. I cannot match Him, or compare! One day as I was singing this hymn verse two became real to me. He had given His years as man, that I can share in His eternity and glory. I decided to leave my job, and give Him one year to be in His Word and share His gospel. As the years go on I can increase in possessions, or in a bank account, but my time is not increasing. My time is being spent year by year, day by day, and hour by hour! How many years are left for me? I don't know. "My years for Thee be spent."
June 10, 2009SabrinaLondon, United KingdomYes the Lord has left all His glory in heaven for us to have life. Oh Lord, Thou hast suffered all the shame and pain. The question remains what have I done for You. Your commission we know Lord but need the strength to do. Praise You Lord You are our strength and ability. Fill us today Lord with Thyself and take the gospel to the ends of the world. Christ is the gospel and the gospel is Christ. Oh brothers and sisters we need to release Christ, minister Christ and preach Christ and preach Christ from our spirit to sinners.
