I believe there is a God in heaven
Who paid the price for all my sin
Shed His blood to open up the way
For me to walk with Him
Gave His life upon a cross
Took the punishment for us
Offered up Himself in love
Jesus, Jesus
It is finished was His cry
Not even death could now deny
The Son of God exalted high
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus
