I never knew death could be so sweet
I never knew surrender could feel so free
I’ve never seen such meekness and majesty
That the blood of Jesus was bled for me
(And) now I sing freedom for all of my days
It’s only by the power of the cross I’m raised
The King of Glory rescued me
How beautiful the blood flowed
How merciful the love shown
The King of Glory poured out
Victorious are we now
I never knew these nails would love unfold
I never knew these wounds would heal my soul
I’ve never seen such beauty and sorrow meet
That the blood of Jesus was bled for me
How beautiful You are
How merciful You are
How glorious You are
Christ our Saviour
