Jesus died for me long ago on a hillside far away

He was tortured and slain

God bless his holy name

Jesus died for me long ago

When everything goes wrong and it seems all hope is gone

I remember how my savior died

He died there on the cross

So this world would not be lost

Jesus died for me long ago

Jesus died for me long ago on a hillside far away

He was tortured and slain

God bless his holy name

Jesus died for me long ago

What pain he suffered there

The holy one so dear

So that you and i could live

I'll try to repay

For his sufferin' on that day

Jesus died for me long ago

Jesus died for me long ago on a hillside far away

He was tortured and slain

God bless his holy name

Jesus died for me long ago

As he hung there all alone

His life's blood almost gone

He never stopped prayin' for me

So i'll follow all the way

And live with him someday

Jesus died for me long ago

Jesus died for me long ago on a hillside far away

He was tortured and slain

God bless his holy name

Jesus died for me long ago
