Here's a slow, contemplative instrumental rendition of a magnificent old hymn by Isaac Watts (1674-1748). The full original lyrics are posted below.
I'm posting this simply because I'm lost in love for my Savior, and want to thank Him once again. Here, Lord, I give myself away; 'tis all that I can do.

Lyrics*
Alas! and Did My Savior Bleed?
Alas! and did my Savior bleed?
And did my Sovereign die?
Would He devote that sacred head
For such a worm as I?
Thy body slain, sweet Jesus, thine,
And bathed in its own blood,
While all exposed to wrath divine
The glorious Suff'rer stood!
Was it for crimes that I had done
He groaned upon the tree?
Amazing pity! grace unknown!
And love beyond degree!
Well might the sun in darkness hide,
And shut His glories in,
When God, the mighty Maker, died
For man, the creature's sin.
Thus might I hide my blushing face,
While His dear cross appears;
Dissolve my heart in thankfulness,
And melt my eyes to tears.
But drops of grief can ne'er repay
The debt of love I owe;
Here, Lord, I give myself away;
'Tis all that I can do.

Other notes on the song:
-- The second stanza is not included in modern hymnals; I can understand why. Although this is what happened, and there's no way to candy-coat it.
-- In modern hymnals, the last line of the first stanza reads "For sinners such as I."
-- In the nineteenth century, a refrain ("At the Cross") was added by Ralph Hudson.
