SAVED, I’VE BEEN SAVED
You have rescued me from where I’ve been
Paid, You have paid
All that kept me from the life You give
No greater love could there ever be
You carried the cross of my shame
This is how I know what love is
This is how I know what love is
Jesus, this is how I know what love is
You died for me
Raised, I’ve been raised
I’ve been brought to life
And freed from all these chains
No more chains
For You took my sin upon Yourself
Oh, no greater mercy was ever shown
You carried the cross of my shame
Matt Redman
