Wounded for Me

Hymn lyrics (verse 1) and Music by William G. Ovens,
Hymn lyrics (verses 2-5) by Gladys W. Roberts

Verse 1

• Wounded for me, wounded for me,
• There on the cross He was wounded for me;
• Gone my transgressions, and now I am free,
• All because Jesus was wounded for me.

Verse 2

• Dying for me, dying for me,
• There on the cross He was dying for me;
• Now in His death my redemption I see,
• All because Jesus was dying for me.

Verse 3

• Risen for me, risen for me,
• Up from the grave He has risen for me;
• Now evermore from death’s sting I am free,
• All because Jesus has risen for me.

Verse 4

• Living for me, living for me,
• Up in the skies He is living for me;
• Daily He’s pleading and praying for me,
• All because Jesus is living for me.

Verse 5

• Coming for me, coming for me,
• One day to earth He is coming for me;
• Then with what joy His dear face I shall see,
• O how I praise Him—He’s coming for me!
