What have I done to deserve this? - Pet Shop Boys
Wonderful grace that gives what I don't deserved, pays me what Christ has earned, then lets me go free.
Upon that cross of Jesus
mine eye at times can see
the very dying form of One
who suffered there for me;
and from my stricken heart with tears
two wonders I confess:
the wonders of redeeming love
and my unworthiness.
I take, O cross, thy shadow
for my abiding place;
I ask no other sunshine than
the sunshine of his face;
content to let the world go by,
to know no gain nor loss,
my sinful self my only shame,
my glory all the cross.
Elizabeth C. Clephane, 1830-1869
