Through Your precious blood you have bought peace
Dying on a cross born to set man free
Emptying Yourself of all majesty
Came into this world a light for all to see
What love! What sacrifice!
With You I’m reconciled
Not to us but unto You be the glory
Forever You will be!
Forever You will be exalted
Your great love the only way to the Father
Your Spirit lives in me
And now I live to tell Your story
Now we have this hope filling our souls
Love so undeserved grace now overflows
So with confidence we boldly approach
Through the blood you shed we’ve access to Your throne
What love! What sacrifice!
With You I’m reconciled
Jesus You are worthy
Jesus You are worthy
Only You deserve the glory
Martyn Layzell
