ALONE- Ben H. Price; 1914
It was alone the Savior prayed
In dark Gethsemane;
Alone He drained the bitter cup
And suffered there for me.
Refrain: Alone, alone, He bore it all alone;
He gave Himself to save His own,
He suffered, bled and died alone, alone.
It was alone the Savior stood
In Pilate’s judgment hall;
Alone the crown of thorns He wore
Forsaken thus by all.
Refrain
Alone upon the cross He hung
That others He might save;
Forsaken then by God and man
Alone, His life He gave.
Refrain
Can you reject such matchless love?
Can you His claim disown?
Come, give your all in gratitude,
Nor leave Him thus alone.
Refrain
ALONE - Mahalia Jackson

And suffered there for me.
CHORUS: Alone, alone, He bore the cross alone;
He gave Himself to save His own,
He suffered, bled and died alone, alone.
