Chorus:
Not for Himself, He did it all for us.
Not for Himself, He did it all for us.
He could have stayed in His home in glory,
instead He brought us redemption’s story;
not for Himself, He did it all for us.
Verse 1:
Someone had to absorb God’s wrath
and pay the penalty we all deserve.
He saves others instead of Himself,
and He stayed on that cross for the whole world to observe.
Jesus endured all the agony upon the cross of Calvary,
(not for Himself, He did it all for us).
Verse 2:
From the wondrous cross on Calvary,
flow the stream that still avails.
Cleansing hearts and brings victory
through that love which never fails.
Christ, the Savior, you must claim,
redemption is in His name,
(not for Himself, He did it all for us).
Bridge:
Oh how I love Him, I love Him,
I love Him because He first love us.
Jesus sacrificed His life,
He paid the ultimtae price,
He did it all for us.
Vamp 1:
He did it all for us.
Vamp 2:
He made a way for us
Vamp 3:
He bled and died for us.
He rose again for us.
He lives for us.
He did it all for us.
