He Came For Me
He came not for the angels
They had not the need.
He came not for the vengeful
To fulfill a warrior's creed.
He came not for glory
Nor for riches and fame.
He came for me
A sinner with guilt and shame.
I am not a priest
Knowledgeable in the law.
I am not a leader
A king, a president, or heir.
To some nation or country
A title I do not bear.
I am a lost sheep
I need a shepherd's care.
This is why he came for me
To save a drifting vessel
Tossed by the sea.
I am special in his eyes
A sparrow and a lily fair.
Out of love he paid the ransom
And my soul no longer lost.
Praise God for my Savior
Who gave it all at the cross.
