Behold the Son of God
Who dies upon the cross
Suffering my punishment
Sacrifice of grace
Though He dies yet shall He live forever
And here we stand oh God
As trophies of Your grace
Drawn from darkness into light
Of Your Spirit poured
Though we die yet shall we live forever
There is no condemnation now for those
Who put their trust in You alone
We worship You oh Son of God
There is no separation from His love
No pow’r on earth or heights above
Can take us from You Son of God
Behold the Son of God
Who sits upon the throne
Over death victorious
Heaven’s Prince of Peace
Though He died yet shall He live forever
And we shall stand O Lord
Before that throne of grace
Bought by Your redeeming love
Purchased by the blood
Though we die yet shall we live forever
