A LOVE TO DIE FOR In memory of Cassie Bernall  4-20-1999 by Vickie Baker

How much do you love me, Cassie
Do you love me enough to suffer for me?
Do you love me enough to die?

Look at what I've done for you
look at your future reward
Look at what my Son went through just for you

Jesus wasn't merely scourged for you
He wasn't merely beaten
Jesus went all the way for you
He loved you with all he had

The path may seem forbidding now
hardships loom intense--
but I will never leave you, nor will I forsake you
As you walk through the valley of the shadow of death
and suffer for my sake
I will keep your heart brave, every step of the way

Jesus prayed at Gethsemane not my will but thine
In sorrow and great anguish He also implored His life be spared
I strengthened Him for the cross He bore
Will I do any less for you?

How much do you love me, Cassie?
   I love You enough to suffer for You
   I love You enough to die

Well done, good and faithful servant
Now enter into the joy of your Lord
