Roy Acuff › Lyrics › Jesus Died for Me

When everything goes wrong and it seems all hope is gone
I remember how my Savior died, He died there on the cross
So, this world would not be lost, Jesus died for me long ago

Jesus died for me long ago on a hillside far away
He was tortured and slain, God bless His Holy name
Jesus died for me long ago

What pain He suffered there, the holy one, so dear
So that you and I could live, I'll try to repay
For His sufferin' on that day, Jesus died for me long ago

Jesus died for me long ago on a hillside far away
He was tortured and slain, God bless His Holy name
Jesus died for me long ago

As He hung there all alone, His life's blood almost gone
He never stopped prayin' for me, so I'll follow all the way
And live with Him someday, Jesus died for me long ago

Jesus died for me long ago on a hillside far away
He was tortured and slain, God bless His Holy name
Jesus died for me long ago, Jesus died for me
