Every earthly sorrow
every mortal pain
Every sinner's anguish
The bitterness of shame
The weakness and the heartache
that burden all mankind
For these the Savior suffered
for these He bled and died
And the lost and fallen
multitudes of all the earth
Are ransomed by His offering of love
But if I alone had stumbled
if I alone had strayed
If I alone had wandered
from the straight and narrow way
If I alone bore guilt
for which my all could never atone
He would have come for me
For me alone
Tears of all creation
every debt unpaid
Warfare of the nations
every trust betrayed
Every falsehood uttered
every truth denied
For these the Savior suffered
for these He bled and died
And the lost and fallen
multitudes of all the earth
Are ransomed by His offering of love
But if I alone had stumbled
if I alone had strayed
If I alone had wandered
From the straight and narrow way
If I alone bore guilt
for which my all could never atone
He would have come for me
For me alone
For love of all God's children
Christ redeemed us from the fall
His mercy without measure
is sufficient for us all
But if I alone had stumbled
if I alone had strayed
If I alone had wandered
from the straight and narrow way
If I alone were foolish
if I alone were frail
If I alone had faltered
when the power of hell assailed
If I alone bore guilt
for which my all could never atone
He would have come for me
For me alone
