Chorus: For me the thorny crown He wore, For me the cruel cross He bore; He paid my debt, I'll not forget, I owe it all to Jesus. 2 Life as a lamb to slaughter led, He came and suffered in my stead, And once for all his life-blood shed; I owe it all to Jesus. [Chorus] 3 With groans and tears and agony He suffered in Gethsemane; For time and for eternity I owe it all to Jesus.
