It was for ME !

By C. Idle

When you Prayed beneath the Trees,

It was for me, O Lord;

When you Cried upon your Knees,

How could it be, O Lord?

When in Blood and Sweat and Tears,

You dismissed your Final Fears,

When you Faced the Soldier’s Spears,

You stood for Me, O Lord.

When their Triumph looked Complete,

It was for Me, O Lord,

When it Seemed like your Defeat,

They could not See, O Lord!

When you Faced the mob Alone,

You were Silent as a Stone,

And a Tree became your Throne;

You came for Me, for Me, O Lord.

When you Stumbled up the Road,

You Walked for Me, O Lord,

When you Took your deadly Load,

That heavy Tree, O Lord;

When they Lifted you on High,

And they Nailed you up to Die,

And when Darkness filled the Sky,

It was for Me, for Me, O Lord.

When you spoke with Kingly Power

It was for Me, O Lord

In that Dread and Destined Hour

You made me Free O Lord!

Earth and Heaven heard you Shout,

Death and Hell were put to Rout

For the Grave could not Hold out;

YOU ARE FOR ME...O LORD  !
