I need to express my love today
for what took place many years ago
As your life’s blood slowly ebbed away,
my sins were washed as white as snow

Should I humbly fall upon my knees
and give praise to your holy name
Should I sing a song of heartfelt love.
knowing you’re God, forever the same

With each drop of your sinless blood,
my guilty stains were made clean
How can I dare look at the cross
without remembering what it means

The crown of thorns was meant for me
The nails should have pierced my hand
But for God’s great mercy and grace,
He devised another plan

His precious Son would die for me
Such love amazes my heart
Thank you, Jesus, you set me free
and your death was just the start

In glory, you defeated death
The grave no longer can sting
Your resurrection gives life new breath
and freedom, to the captive, You bring

This song of thanks I freely give
I praise the Father and Son today
He is risen, He is Risen, my Savior lives
The Lamb of God has made a way.

Man is made righteous through the blood
that Jesus shed at Calvary’s flood
