We'd Gladly Give
Our own lives we'd gladly give
For those we hold so dear
To be delivered from eternal death-
Darkness, torment and fear.
We'd be their savior if we could,
And suffer in their place,
If only they could know the joy
Of God's amazing grace.
He and He alone can free
A lost and weary soul,
Purify a sinful heart
And make our loved ones whole;
But if we could be their savior
And suffer in their place,
We'd do it in a heartbeat
For them to know God's grace.
Oh, how we pray our loved ones
Would come to Christ and live;
For our kinsmen in the flesh...
Our own lives We'd Gladly Give.
"For I could wish that myself were accursed from Christ
for my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh"
(Rom.9:3)
