What a price for me was paid,
And what a sacrifice was made.
God, Himself, became my Lamb.
That I might come, “just as I am”.

What an awful name I wore-
“Sinner”! but, my sin He bore…
Through the love God had for me-
He bore my sins upon the tree.

“Glory”! To His lovely Name-
He bore my sin, He bore my shame…
In His own body, on the tree-
My hope all rests on Calvary.

The Devil told me, but he lied-
No way could I be justified…
But, Christ, Himself, died for my sin…
And three days later rose again.

He’ll never leave me, nor forsake-
Nor fail to intercession make…
This much I know, of this I’m sure-
By His grace, my soul’s secure.
