For Me Alone

"What man of you having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of them,
doth not leave the ninety and nine, and go into the wilderness
after that which is lost, until he find it?" (Luke 15:4 JST)

"The irony of the Atonement is that it is infinite and eternal,
yet it is applied individually, one person at a time." (M. Russell Ballard)

I heard this song and I knew that I just had to post it. I love M. Russell Ballard's quote. The Atonement was just for me, and it was just for you. I hope you enjoy this song as much as I do.

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

I marvel at the Atonement of my Savior and Redeemer Jesus the Christ. From the perspective of a sinner in need of repentance and as someone who has received forgiveness.

I really love this song. It helps me remember that he did die for me, not just for my friends or family, not just for the great and important, but for me to. I sometimes have a hard time remembering that.
