I'll Live for Him Who Died for Me

The chorus of this hymn came to Darlene's heart as she stood in front of the soldier, waiting to be beheaded. She said, "Lord, this is a strange song to sing for someone who's about to die!"

My life, my love I give to Thee,
Thou Lamb of God Who died for me;
O may I ever faithful be,
My Savior and my God!

Chorus:
I’ll live for Him Who died for me,
How happy then my life shall be!
I’ll live for Him Who died for me,
My Savior and my God!

I now believe Thou dost receive,
For Thou hast died that I might live;
And now henceforth I trust in Thee,
My Savior and my God!

~Ralph E. Hudson

O Thou Who died on Calvary,
To save my soul and make me free,
I’ll consecrate my life to Thee,
My Savior and my God!
