What He Did for Me: A Poem

Years ago I decided to write a song to express my feelings of gratitude to Jesus. I managed to get the words on paper, but I have had very little musical training, so that's where I got stuck. Maybe someday it can become a song, but for now, it's just a poem:
What he did for me, he suffered bled and died,
That day on Calvary's cross, in agony he cried,
"Father forgive, for they know no what they do",
He did his father's will until his work was through.
For what he did for me, I'll praise him all I know.
For once I knew despair, I knew not where to go.
When all was lost, he spoke comfort to my soul,
He wrapped me in his arms. His love had made me whole. 
Though what he did for me, is more than I can 'ere repay,
I'll give him all my life, beginning with today.
I'll feed his sheep, giving comfort where I can,
I'll strive his words to keep, and love my fellow man. 
I'll love him all my life, for what he did for me.
