JESUS YOU ARE MERCY,
Jesus You are justice,
Jesus you are worthy,
That is what You are.
You died alone to save me,
You rose so You could raise me;
You did all this to make me
A chosen child of God.
Worthy is the Lamb that once was slain
To receive all glory, power and praise,
For with Your blood You purchased us for God:
Jesus, You are worthy,
That is what You are.
Perfect sacrifice,
Crushed by God for us,
Bearing in Your hurt all that I deserve.
Misjudged for my misdeeds,
You suffered silently,
The only guiltless man in all of history.
