Lyrics
He left heaven for earth, from blessing to curse;
To save the human race.
The grace of God to show, he paid a debt He did't owe;
What love, what great grace!
The cross was meant for me, Lord, The nails were mine to bear.
It was my sin that held You, I placed the crown You wore.
You did not turn away, from the shame and the disgrace,
You chose to be my ransom, love died... in my place.
Rejected by His own, He trod this path alone,
This was his chosen lot
In Gethsemane He prayed, and there he was betrayed;
His own received him not.
The cross was meant for me, Lord, The nails were mine to bear.
It was my sin that held You, I placed the crown You wore.
You did not turn away, from the shame and the disgrace,
You chose to be my ransom
Love died... in my place.
Heaven watched in grief, in silent disbelief
No one could take His place
As our sin weighed him down, the thought of us lifted him up
Eternal life, for all!
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life
The cross was meant for me, Lord, The nails were mine to bear.
It was my sin that held You, I placed the crown You wore.
You did not turn away, from the shame and the disgrace,
You chose to be my ransom, love died... in my place.
