SAVIOR

Photobucket


The penalty was paid - the day You died for me
You endured punishment - though never were to blame
Yes, bruised and beaten - You suffered willingly
Poured out your blood - that I could call it victory

The sins of all time - You bore upon the cross
Now Your healing blood calls out - to all who are lost
And although the afflictions of the world - may seem real
It is written - that by Your stripes we've already been healed

The creator of life and inventor of love
Provided salvation, by the blood of His son
And though it is true, on the cross He did die
Three days later, Christ Jesus, surely did rise

Your death, Lord, a horror - but resurrection sublime
And because of that love - I'm now fully alive
