For Me Alone, by Sally DeFord

At a devotional at the Hill Cumorah pageant last summer, I heard a woman sing the most beautiful song about the Atonement of Jesus Christ that I have ever heard. I finally found the song on the internet. "For Me Alone" is by Sally DeFord, and it is a free download. However, I don't know the fastest way to show it here on my blog, so you'll have to do a couple of steps.

Click here to see the page containing this song. Then click on "For Me Alone" and listen to the vocal solo. (I prefer Heather Prusse's recording.) I bet you will want to add it to your Sunday music.

Lyrics:

Every earthly sorrow; every mortal pain
Every sinner's anguish; the bitterness of shame
The weakness and the heartache that burden all mankind
For these the Savior suffered, for these He bled and died
And the lost and fallen multitudes of all the earth
Are ransomed by His offering of love

But if I alone had stumbled; if I alone had strayed
If I alone had wandered from the straight and narrow way
If I alone bore guilt for which my all could never atone
He would have come for me
For me alone

Tears of all creation; every debt unpaid
Warfare of the nations; every trust betrayed
Every falsehood uttered; every truth denied
For these the Savior suffered, for these He bled and died
And the lost and fallen multitudes of all the earth
Are ransomed by His offering of love

But if I alone had stumbled; if I alone had strayed
If I alone had wandered from the straight and narrow way
If I alone bore guilt for which my all could never atone
He would have come for me
For me alone

For love of all God's children Christ redeemed us from the fall
His mercy without measure is sufficient for us all

But if I alone had stumbled; if I alone had strayed
If I alone had wandered from the straight and narrow way
If I alone were foolish; if I alone were frail
If I alone had faltered when the power of hell assailed
If I alone bore guilt for which my all could never atone
He would have come for me
For me alone
