When I was 12 My dad taught me this song which it was wiped away from my mind. We sang this hymn in the church with parts on the adoration day. It is a beautiful hymn.
Bangalore, Karnataka, India
This is a wonderful song. "Oh Jesus Lord, How cans't it be that Thou shoulds't give Thy life for me..."
We sang this with original notes in my 9th grade, and find this song after so many years. Thanks a lot. God bless you. It would be great if we can have the notes also.
