THEME: The Wonder of Salvation
And can it be that I should gain
An interest in my Savior's blood?
Died He for me who caused His pain
For me, who Him to death pursued?
Amazing love, how can it be
That Thou my God shouldst die for me?
Amazing love, how can it be
That Thou my God shouldst die for me?
He left His Father's throne above
So free, so infinite His grace
Emptied Himself of all but love
And died for Adam's helpless race
Tis mercy all, immense and free
For O, my God, it found out me
Amazing love, how can it be
That Thou my God shouldst die for me?
Long my imprisoned spirit lay
Fastbound in sin and nature's night
Thine eye diffused a quick'ning ray
I woke, the dungeon flamed with light
My chains fell off, my heart was free
I rose, went forth, and followed Thee
Amazing love, how can it be
That Thou my God shouldst die for me?
No condemnation now I dread
Jesus and all in Him is mine
Alive in Him, my living head
And clothed in righteousness divine
Bold I approach the eternal throne
And claim the crown through Christ my own
Amazing love, how can it be
That Thou my God shouldst die for me?
