Lyrics:
Oh, Jesus, what have you done?
Carried my burdens, every one,
All of my sorrow, all of my sin,
Like a mother gathering her children in.
Now I’m left with nothin' at all but love,
Nothin' but your tender, tender love.
Oh, Jesus, what have I done?
Crucified my precious one.
I didn't want to bear the pain or loss,
So I left you alone to carry the cross.
Now I'm left with nothin' at all but love,
Nothin' but your sufferin', sufferin', love.
Oh, Jesus, what will you do?
Forgive me like you always do.
With not a word of wrath or blame,
You died with love gently sayin' my name.
Now I'm left with nothin' at all but love,
Nothin' but your precious, precious love.
Oh, Jesus, what will I do?
Give me the courage to follow you,
To give my love if I live or die,
And never again to crucify.
For I'm left with nothin' at all but love,
Nothin' but your dyin', dyin' love
