This was originally a choral piece I wrote for our choir to sing on Christmas Eve.
lyrics
FOR LOVE, FOR ME
Baby, born as a baby, so weak and helpless
And You did it all just to save me
You came to save me, so brokenhearted
So lost and empty
Jesus, blessed Jesus, praise of the angels
Lord of all and You became
Homeless, so poor and homeless, You gave up glory
To come and rescue us, You had no
Place to lay Your head, a heart that really bled
You put on flesh and bone, You came to die alone
For love, for me
Dying, Lord we were dying, we longed to hear You
Give us a word, to speak to us
And crying, You came here crying,
You broke the silence of God with baby tears, You had no
Crib to lay Your head, a manger for Your bed
Your perfect heart of love would spill Your precious blood
For love, for me
Your blood, You would give Your blood to pay for my life
To have a heart like mine,
My love, You can have my love, I give it to You
It is all I have to give
